To round a number to the nearest hundred, follow these steps:
1. Identify the digit in the hundreds place, which is the third digit from the right.
2. Look at the digit to the right of the hundreds digit.
3. If this digit is 5 or greater, add 100 to the original number.
4. If this digit is less than 5, remove any digit to the right of the hundreds digit without changing the value of the hundreds digit.
5. The resulting number is the rounded value to the nearest hundred.
In the case of 89,648:
1. The digit in the hundreds place is 8.
2. The digit to the right of the hundreds digit is 4.
3. Since 4 is less than 5, we remove the digits to the right of the hundreds digit without changing the value of the hundreds digit.
4. The rounded value to the nearest hundred is 89,600.
To round a number to the nearest hundred, you need to look at the tens and units digits. If the tens digit is 5 or greater, you round up by adding 100. If the tens digit is 4 or less, you round down by removing the tens and units digits.
In this case, the tens digit is 4, so we round down.
So, the number 89,648 rounded to the nearest hundred is 89,600.
