What is better rounding off to nearest ten or rounding off to nearest hundred?

In whole numbers, rounding to the nearest ten is better. And in decimals, rounding to the nearest hundreth is more accurate.


What are the rules to Estimating products and quotients of mixed numbers?

Estimating sumsUse rounded numbers to estimate sums.Example 1Give an estimate for the sum of 19.61 and 5.07 by rounding to the nearest tenth.Round each number to the nearest tenth.Example 2Estimate the sum of 19.61 + 5.07 by rounding to the nearest whole number.Round each number to a whole number.Estimating differencesUse rounded numbers to estimate differences.Example 3Give an estimate for the difference of 12.356 - 5.281 by rounding to the nearest whole number.Round each number to the nearest whole number.Now subtract.So 12.356 - 5.281 ≈ 7.Estimating productsUse rounded numbers to estimate products.Example 4Estimate the product of 4.7 × 5.9 by rounding to the nearest whole number.Round each number to a whole number.So 4.7 × 5.9 ≈ 30.Again, in decimals, as in whole numbers, if both multipliers end in .5, or are halfway numbers, rounding one number up and one number down will give you a better estimate of the product.Example 5Estimate the product of 7.5 × 8.5 by rounding to the nearest whole number.You can also round the first number down and the second number up and get this estimate.In either case, your approximation will be closer than it would be if you rounded both numbers up, which is the standard rule.Estimating quotientsUse rounded numbers to estimate quotients.Example 6Estimate the quotient of 27.49 ÷ 3.12 by rounding to the nearest whole number.Round each number to the nearest whole number.


How many whole numbers can be rounded to 650?

When rounding off, the rule is, "If the first figure to be discarded is 5 or more then the previous figure is increased by 1. Following this rule then 650 is the result of rounding off numbers in the range 645 to 654. As 650 itself is not rounded off then there are 9 whole numbers that can be rounded to 650.


What is the answer 1274 rounding numbers?

It depends on the degree of rounding.


In rounding numbers to the nearest whole number would 49.85 be rounded to 50 or 51?

It would be 50. In rounding up, we add one and truncate the digits after the decimal point. In rounding down, we just truncate the digits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding#Common_method
