Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Mark did not round to the nearest hundreds, he rounded to the nearest tens.

Option A (Incorrect):

271 and 582 are normally not rounded down, unless we are using limits coming from the left and a unique equation.

Option B (Incorrect):

271 as the same problem as option A, but 582 rounding to 600 is correct. It doesn't make sense to round both numbers differently, unless stated.

Option C (Incorrect):

271 rounding to 300 is correct, but 582 is not normally rounded down to 500 unless we are using limits coming from the left and a unique equation. Unless stated, don't round both numbers differently.

Option D (Correct):

271 rounded to 300 and 582 rounded to 600 looks correct for rounding to the hundreds.

Part B:

There are two ways to solve this question:

One way:

271 + 582 = 853

Round 853 to the nearest hundred for 900

(Note: Round 853 to the nearest tens for 850.)

Second way:

271 + 582

Round Numbers:

300 + 600

= 900
