William has 456 marbles. We want to round this number to the
nearest hundred. Complete: The number 456 is between
what and what. How many marbles does William have
to the nearest hundred?
We know that William has 456
marbles, and we need to round this number to the nearest hundred. In the first part of the question,
we need to complete the missing numbers. In other words, which two hundreds
is the number 456 between? The number 456 has four 100s. It comes after 400 and before
500.
To find out which hundred 456 is
nearest to, we need to look to the tens digit. 456 has five 10s. If the tens digit is five or more,
we have to round up. So we have to round up to 500. The number 456 is between 400 and
500. And the number of marbles William
has, rounded to the nearest hundred, is 500. 456 rounded to the nearest hundred
is 500.
