Question

A school collected 4,738 cans for a food drive. Round this number to the nearest HUNDRED. Then round to the nearest THOUSAND. What are the two rounded numbers?
A. 4,700 and 5,000
B. 4,800 and 5,000
C. 4,700 and 4,000
D. 4,800 and 4,000

Answer 1

4,738 rounded to the nearest hundred is 4,700 (because the tens digit 3 < 5, so round down).
Rounded to the nearest thousand is 5,000 (because the hundreds digit 7 ≥ 5, so round up).

Answer: A.
