Tony rounded each of the numbers 1,143 and1,149 to the nearest hundred. Which choice correctly compares the rounded numbers

Answer 1

To round the numbers 1,143 and 1,149 to the nearest hundred, we look at the tens digit.

1. For 1,143: The hundreds digit is 1 (1,100) and the tens digit is 4. Since the tens digit (4) is less than 5, we round down. Therefore, 1,143 rounded to the nearest hundred is 1,100.

2. For 1,149: The hundreds digit is 1 (1,100) and the tens digit is 4. Similarly, since the tens digit (4) is also less than 5, we also round down here. Therefore, 1,149 rounded to the nearest hundred is 1,100.

Now, comparing the rounded numbers:

• 1,143 rounded = 1,100
• 1,149 rounded = 1,100

Both rounded numbers are equal.

Thus, the correct comparison is: 1,143 rounded to the nearest hundred is equal to 1,149 rounded to the nearest hundred.
