5 Questions
Q1.
What does 'rounding to estimate' mean?
Adding and subtracting using the column method.
Using decimal numbers in addition equations.
Using whole numbers in addition equations.
Q2.
Round '456 244' to the nearest multiple of 10 000.
400 000
450 000
500 000
Q3.
3. Using rounding to the nearest multiple of 10 000 to estimate the answer to: 341 782 + 456 913 =
300 000 + 500 000 = 800 000
340 000 + 450 000 = 790 000
342 000 + 457 000 = 799 000
Q4.
4. Use rounding to the nearest multiple of 1000 to estimate the answer to: 187 221 + 243 891 =
187 000 + 243 000 = 430 000
190 000 + 240 000 = 430 000
200 000 + 200 000 = 400 000
Q5.
What is one of the problems associated with rounding to estimate?
Rounding to estimate always takes much longer than actually calculating the answer.
Rounding to estimate does not allow you to subtract.
Rounding to estimate makes equations harder to calculate.
