Question

Tony rounded each of the numbers 1, 143 and 1, 149 to the nearest hundred. Which choice correctly compares the rounded numbers?

1,000 = 1,000
1, 140 < 1, 150
1, 100= 1, 100
1, 140 > 1, 150

Answer 1

Rounding to the nearest hundred:
- 1,143 → 1,100 (43 away from 1,100, 57 from 1,200)
- 1,149 → 1,100 (49 away from 1,100, 51 from 1,200)

So the correct comparison is 1,100 = 1,100.
