To round a number to the nearest hundred, you need to consider the digit in the tens place.
In the given number, 6,952, the digit in the tens place is 5.
If the digit in the tens place is 5 or greater, you round up. If it is less than 5, you round down.
Since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, you will round up.
To round up to the nearest hundred, you increase the digit in the hundreds place by 1 and set all the digits to the right of it to 0.
In this case, the digit in the hundreds place is 9. By increasing it by 1, we get 10. Now, we set all the digits to the right of the hundreds place to 0.
Therefore, rounding 6,952 to the nearest hundred gives us 7,000.
