There are three petri dishes in a laboratory. The first one contains 22,340 cells, the second contains 43,560 cells, and the last dish contains 36,612 cells. Approximately how many cells are there in total?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the approximate total number of cells, we can round each number to the nearest hundred and then add them up:

22,340 ≈ 22,400
43,560 ≈ 43,600
36,612 ≈ 36,600

Adding these approximations together gives us:
22,400 + 43,600 + 36,600 = 102,600

Approximately, there are 102,600 cells in total.
