Question

when rounding 6,314 to the nearest hundred, which place should be checked to decide whether the digit stays a 3 or rounds up to 4?
the tens place
the ones place
the hundreds place
the thousands place

Explanation:

When rounding to the nearest hundred, the rule is to look at the digit in the place immediately to the right of the hundreds place, which is the tens place. This digit determines if the hundreds digit stays the same or rounds up. For 6,314, the hundreds digit is 3, and the tens digit is 1; since 1 < 5, the 3 stays.

Answer:

The tens place
