  1. To solve this rounding problem, let’s review how to round each number to the nearest hundred and the nearest ten.

    1. 551:

    – Nearest hundred: 600 (because it’s closer to 600 than to 500)

    – Nearest ten: 550 (because it’s exactly halfway between 550 and 560)

    2. 545:

    – Nearest hundred: 500 (closer to 500 than 600)

    – Nearest ten: 550 (exactly halfway between 540 and 550)

    3. 549:

    – Nearest hundred: 500 (closer to 500 than to 600)

    – Nearest ten: 550 (exactly halfway between 540 and 550)

    4. 544:

    – Nearest hundred: 500 (because it’s closer to 500 than to 600)

    – Nearest ten: 540 (because 544 is closer to 540 than to 550)

    Now, here’s how you can drag each number into the correct blue box:

    Nearest hundred: 500, Nearest ten: 540: 544

    Nearest hundred: 500, Nearest ten: 550: 545 and 549

    Nearest hundred: 600, Nearest ten: 550: 551

    This also illustrates how rounding rules apply, where numbers ending in 5 or higher round
