Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
2 is in the hundreds place. 3 is in the 10 place. 4 is in the units place.
We want to see if we need to round this number to 200 or 300. If we look at the number in the tens place, we see that the digit is less than 5. That means we round down.
234 rounded to the nearest hundred is 200.
Another way to look at it is that 234 is much closer to 200 on the number line than to 300. It is not even midway between 200 and 300.
c. 200 ……………….
