Question

round 6,268 to the nearest hundred.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the hundreds place

In the number 6,268, the digit in the hundreds place is 2 (the number is 6 (thousands), 2 (hundreds), 6 (tens), 8 (ones)).

Step2: Look at the tens digit

The tens digit is 6. When rounding to the nearest hundred, we look at the digit to the right of the hundreds place (the tens digit). If this digit is 5 or more, we round up the hundreds place; if it's less than 5, we round down. Since 6 ≥ 5, we round up the hundreds place.

Step3: Round the number

The hundreds digit is 2, and we round it up by 1, so 2 becomes 3. The digits to the right of the hundreds place (tens and ones) become 0. So 6,268 rounded to the nearest hundred is 6,300.

Answer:

6300
