Question -

Give a rough estimate (by rounding off to nearest hundreds) and also a closer estimate (by rounding off to nearest tens):

(a) 439 + 334 + 4317 (b) 108734 тАУ 47599 (c) 8325 тАУ 491 (d) 489348 тАУ 48365

Make four more such examples.



Answer -

(a) 439 + 334 + 4317

Rounding off to nearest hundreds

439 + 334 + 4317 = 400 + 300 + 4300

= 5000

Rounding off to nearest tens

439 + 334 + 4317 = 440 + 330 + 4320

= 5090


(b) 108734 тАУ 47599

Rounding off to nearest hundreds

108734 тАУ 47599 = 108700 тАУ 47600

= 61100

Rounding off to nearest tens

108734 тАУ 47599 = 108730 тАУ 47600

= 61130


(c) 8325 тАУ 491

Rounding off to nearest hundreds

8325 тАУ 491 = 8300 тАУ 500

= 7800

Rounding off to nearest tens

8325 тАУ 491 = 8330 тАУ 490

= 7840


(d) 489348 тАУ 48365

Rounding off to nearest hundreds

489348 тАУ 48365 = 489300 тАУ 48400

= 440900

Rounding off to nearest tens

489348 тАУ 48365 = 489350 тАУ 48370

= 440980

Four more examples are as follows


(i) 4853 + 662

Rounding off to nearest hundreds

4853 + 662 = 4800 + 700

= 5500

Rounding off to nearest tens

4853 + 662 = 4850 + 660

= 5510


(ii) 775 тАУ 390

Rounding off to nearest hundreds

775 тАУ 390 = 800 тАУ 400

= 400

Rounding off to nearest tens

775 тАУ 390 = 780 тАУ 400

= 380


(iii) 6375 тАУ 2875

Rounding off to nearest hundreds

6375 тАУ 2875 = 6400 тАУ 2900

= 3500

Rounding off to nearest tens

6375 тАУ 2875 = 6380 тАУ 2880

= 3500


(iv) 8246 тАУ 6312

Rounding off to nearest hundreds

8246 тАУ 6312 = 8200 тАУ 6300

= 1900

Rounding off to nearest tens

8246 тАУ 6312 = 8240 тАУ 6310

= 1930
