Estimate the sum of 7300 + 5315 nearest to hundred and then check that the answer is reasonable or not.
- reasonable
- not reasonable
- undefine
- not possible
Hint:
First round off the numbers to nearest hundredths and then Perform Simple addition.
The correct answer is: reasonable
Step 1 : Round Off ;
if last 2 digits more than or equal to 50 round off to nearest hundred greater than number.
if last 2 digits less than 50 round off to nearest hundred smaller than number.
5315 rounds off to 5300.
7300 rounds off to 7000.
Step 2 : Perform Addition
5300 + 7000 = 12,300 ;

The difference of 516 and 140 using front-end estimation is ________.
Step 1 :
In 516, five is the first number and in 140, 1 is first number or front number so simply add them.
5 - 1 = 4 as they are at hundredth place so 400
next , 16 to nearest hundred is 0 and 40 to nearest 100 is 0 .
0 - 0 = 0 ;
Step 2 :
add all estimations 400 + 0 ;
So , 400 is our final answer.
