Answer explanation

Media Image

While rounding of a number to its nearest tens we focus on the digit at its ones place. Here the digit at the ones place is 2. 2 is nearest to 0 as compared to 10 Therefore, at ones place we will write 0 in place of 2 So the correct answer is 80 Alternatively, 82 is nearest to 80 as compared to 90, 100 or 0. So, it will be rounded off to 80.

Estimate the addition of 23512 and 4560 by rounding off each number to nearest 100

Answer explanation

23512 rounded off to nearest 100 = 23500 4560 rounded off to nearest 100 = 4600 The estimated addition = 23500 + 4600 = 28,100 Hence option 4 is the correct answer. Some students don't read the question carefully and instead of rounding off the numbers to nearest 100, they round it off to nearest 10 and get the answer 28070 and choose option 1 which is an incorrect answer. Some round off the numbers to nearest 1000 and give option 2 as the answer whereas others just calculate and give option 3 as the answer.
