Question

Estimate 80,767 - 37,291 by first rounding each number to the nearest thousand.

Answer 1

`44000`

Explanation:

Given the following question:

`80767-37291`

To estimate by the nearest thousand, we have to look at the thousand's place value and then look at the number next to it, to see if it's greater than five.

`80767-37291`

`80767`

`7 > 5`

`81000`

`37291`

`2 < 5`

`37000`

`81000-3700=44000`

`=44000`

Hope this helps.
