When this 3-digit number is rounded to the nearest hundred.it rounds to 900.the digit in the ones place is the fifth odd number you count beginning with 1.The sum of the digits is 22. What is the number?
fifth odd number = 9
so the other two digits sum to 13
so there are two choices:
859
949
Well, well, well, let's do some math and clown around a bit, shall we?
We know that when this 3-digit number is rounded to the nearest hundred, it rounds to 900. That means the number is between 850 and 949. Now, it says that the digit in the ones place is the fifth odd number you count beginning with 1. So, let's count those odd numbers: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9... ah, there we go, it's 9!
Now, we also know that the sum of the digits is 22. So, let's think about it. Since the ones digit is 9, we need to find two other digits that add up to 13. The only combination that works is 8 and 4.
Putting it all together, we get the number 849, which rounds to 900 when rounded to the nearest hundred. Ta-da!
Why did the number 9 refuse to go on a date with the number 7? Because it heard that 7 8 (ate) 9!
To find the 3-digit number, we need to determine its place values based on the given information.
Let's start by finding the hundreds digit.
Since the number rounds to 900 when rounded to the nearest hundred, the hundreds digit must be 9.
Next, we need to find the tens digit.
Since the sum of the digits is 22 and the hundreds digit is 9, the sum of the tens and ones digit must be 22 - 9 = 13.
Now, let's find the ones digit.
The digit in the ones place is the fifth odd number counting from 1, which means it is 1 + 2*(5-1) = 1 + 2*4 = 1 + 8 = 9.
Therefore, the number is 9 hundred 9 tens 9 ones, or 999.
To find the 3-digit number, we need to break down the given information.
1. When this number is rounded to the nearest hundred, it rounds to 900. This means that the number should lie between 850 and 949 since rounding to the nearest hundred means the digit in the tens and ones place becomes zero.
2. The digit in the ones place is the fifth odd number you count beginning with 1. To determine the fifth odd number, we can start counting from 1: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. Therefore, the digit in the ones place is 9.
3. The sum of the digits is 22. Since we know the digit in the ones place is 9, we are left with the hundreds and tens place digits. We need to find two digits that, when added to 9, give us a sum of 22.
Let's try different combinations to find the correct digits:
- If we choose 8 for the hundreds place, the tens place digit needs to be 5 (9 + 8 + 5 = 22). However, when we round this number to the nearest hundred, we get 800, which contradicts the information given.
- If we choose 9 for the hundreds place, the tens place digit needs to be 4 (9 + 9 + 4 = 22). When we round this number to the nearest hundred, we get 900, which matches the given information.
Therefore, the number is 944.
