Answer 2

To determine which digit could replace the "?" in the tens place to make the statement true, we need to understand the rounding process and how it affects the number.

Rounding to the nearest hundred means that we look at the digit in the tens place and decide whether to increase or decrease the number based on that digit. If the digit is 5 or greater, we round up (increase the number), and if the digit is less than 5, we round down (keep the number as it is).

In the given statement, 88.5 rounds to 88,500 when rounded to the nearest hundred. This means that the digit in the tens place, which is currently "8", is the deciding factor for rounding.

To make the statement true, we need to find the digits that, when placed in the tens place, would result in rounding to 88,500 when rounded to the nearest hundred. Let's analyze the options:

1. 0: If we replace the "?" with 0, the number becomes 880.5. When rounded to the nearest hundred, this number would round down to 800, not 88,500. So, 0 is not the correct answer.

2. 1: If we replace the "?" with 1, the number becomes 881.5. When rounded to the nearest hundred, this number would round down to 800, not 88,500. So, 1 is not the correct answer.

3. 2: If we replace the "?" with 2, the number becomes 882.5. When rounded to the nearest hundred, this number would round down to 800, not 88,500. So, 2 is not the correct answer.

4. 3: If we replace the "?" with 3, the number becomes 883.5. When rounded to the nearest hundred, this number would round down to 800, not 88,500. So, 3 is not the correct answer.

5. 4: If we replace the "?" with 4, the number becomes 884.5. When rounded to the nearest hundred, this number would round down to 800, not 88,500. So, 4 is not the correct answer.

6. 5: If we replace the "?" with 5, the number becomes 885.5. When rounded to the nearest hundred, this number would round up to 88,600, not 88,500. So, 5 is not the correct answer.

7. 6: If we replace the "?" with 6, the number becomes 886.5. When rounded to the nearest hundred, this number would round up to 88,600, not 88,500. So, 6 is not the correct answer.

8. 7: If we replace the "?" with 7, the number becomes 887.5. When rounded to the nearest hundred, this number would round up to 88,700, not 88,500. So, 7 is not the correct answer.

9. 8: If we replace the "?" with 8, the number becomes 888.5. When rounded to the nearest hundred, this number would round up to 88,900, not 88,500. So, 8 is not the correct answer.

10. 9: If we replace the "?" with 9, the number becomes 889.5. When rounded to the nearest hundred, this number would round up to 89,000, not 88,500. So, 9 is not the correct answer.

Based on our analysis, none of the digits (0-9) could replace the "?" in the tens place to make the statement true.
