Question

The area of Chile is 291,930 square miles. The area of Mexico is 761,606 square miles. About how much larger is Mexico than Chile? Round each number to the nearest thousand to find the answer

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure that the answer is about 470,000 miles. 761,606 rounds to 762,000, and 291,930 rounds to 292,000. If you subtract these two estimated numbers ( 762,000 - 292,000 ) it should equal to about 470,000 miles. I hope this helped!
