That's correct if rounding to the second greatest place value, but not the greatest. The greatest place value in a three digit number is the hundreds place. 849 rounded to the nearest hundred is 800.

∙ 6y agoNo, it is not clear. The greatest place value is represented by the place value of the first digit (from the left). So it concerns rounding to the nearest 100.The two numbers, in their hundreds, on either side of 849 are:
800 which is 849 - 800 = 49 away, and
900 which is 900 - 849 = 51 away.
Of these two, 800 is nearer and so that is the answer.

How do I explain how to round 849 to the greatest value?
The greatest value in 840 is the 8. The greatest place value is the hundreds place. When rounding to a specific place, take a look at the digit immediately to the right of the target, in this case, the tens place. If that digit is 4 or less, zero everything to the right of the target out. If that digit is 5 through 9, increase the target by one and zero everything to the right of it out. If the target is a 9, increasing it will turn it to zero and increase the digit to the left of the target by one. 849 rounds to 800, which makes sense because 849 is closer to 800 (49 away) than it is to 900 (51 away).
