Best Answer

Rounding is making an approximation of a number so it is easier to work with.

eg 1

9 ≈ 10 (≈ means approximately equal to)

53 ≈ 50

These two examples were rounded to the nearest whole number of 10.

eg 2

165 ≈ 200

545 ≈ 500

989 ≈ 1000

1378 ≈ 1400

These four examples where rounded to the nearest whole number of 100.

How do you round 987 to the nearest whole number?

Well, isn't that a happy little question! To round 987 to the nearest whole number, we look at the digit to the right of the decimal point, which is 7. Since 7 is 5 or greater, we round the 9 up to 10. So, 987 rounded to the nearest whole number is 990. Just remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents in math!


What will be 268.29 if you rounded to the nearest handred?

You mean nearest hundred? Ok, take the "hundred's" term (the third number to the left of the decimal) and look one to the right of the number. if the number on the write is greater than 4, add 1 to the "hundred's" number, write everything else as 0, remove everything after decimals. If the number to the right is SMALLER than 4, then leave the "hundred's" number as it is, do the same for erasing. I this case, the "hundred's" term is 2, the on to it's right is 6 > 4 so you round it to 300
