How do you round 150 to the nearest hundred?

Answer 1

See below.

#150# is already in the hundreths place, but it could be rounded down to #100# or rounded up to #200# because the digit in the tenths place is exactly #5#

I apologize for the inadequate explanation; hopefully it was clear.

To round 150 to the nearest hundred, you look at the tens digit, which is 5. Since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, you round up. Therefore, 150 rounded to the nearest hundred is 200.
