Question

Estimate the sum by rounding each number to the nearest hundred.

5276+ 8823+ 2959

Answer 1

To estimate the sum by rounding each number to the nearest hundred, we round each number to the nearest hundred:

5276 rounded to the nearest hundred is 5300.
8823 rounded to the nearest hundred is 8800.
2959 rounded to the nearest hundred is 3000.

Now we add the rounded numbers:
5300 + 8800 + 3000 = 17,100

So, the estimate of the sum is 17,100.
