Q1.
What is the 'round and adjust' strategy?
The strategy involves rounding numbers to get an approximate answer.
Correct answer: The strategy involves rounding part of an equation to the nearest multiple of 10, 100, 1000, 10 000 or 100 000. Then, adjust for this rounding afterwards.
The strategy involves using partitioning to add and subtract.
The strategy involves using the column method to add and subtract.
