Answer:
[tex]1,100 = 1,100[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
1,143 and 1,149
Required
Which of the option is correct
We start by approximating both numbers to nearest digit
1,143; when approximated to nearest hundred is 1,100
1,149; when approximated to nearest hundred is also 1,100
Hence;
1,143 ≅ 1,100
1,149 ≅ 1,100
Comparing both results, we have that
[tex]1,100 = 1,100[/tex]
From the list of given options, option C is correct;
