Choose the correct answer:
2,670≈ ?
To solve this problem, we will round the number 2,670 to the nearest hundred:
- First, we identify the target digit for rounding: in 2,670, this is the hundreds place, '6' (hundreds).
- Next, check the tens digit, which is '7'.
- According to rounding rules, if the tens digit is 5 or greater, round up. If it's less than 5, round down.
- Since 7 is greater than 5, we round up by adding 1 to the hundreds digit.
- This makes the hundreds digit go from 6 to 7, hence 2,670 rounded to the nearest hundred is 2,700.
Therefore, the correct answer is 2,700.
