Question

By rounding both numbers to the nearest hundred, we can estimate a sum of 400. Using the tool to model 325 + 169, we find the exact sum is: A) 400 B) 500 C) 494 D) 495

Answer 1

To estimate the sum of 325 and 169 by rounding to the nearest hundred, we round both numbers:

325 rounds to 300
169 rounds to 200

Now, let's add these rounded numbers:

300 + 200 = 500

So, the estimated sum is 500.

Now, to find the exact sum of 325 + 169:

325 + 169 = 494

So, the exact sum is 494.

The correct answer is C) 494.
