C) (816+214)÷(103+419)=1,97

1 answer

To estimate the value of the expression \((816 + 214) ÷ (103 + 419)\), we can round the numbers to make the calculations simpler.

  1. Estimate the numerator:

    • \(816\) rounds to \(800\).
    • \(214\) rounds to \(200\).
    • So, \(816 + 214 \approx 800 + 200 = 1000\).
  2. Estimate the denominator:

    • \(103\) rounds to \(100\).
    • \(419\) rounds to \(400\).
    • So, \(103 + 419 \approx 100 + 400 = 500\).
  3. Now, divide the estimated numerator by the estimated denominator: \[ \frac{1000}{500} = 2. \]

Thus, the estimated value of \((816 + 214) ÷ (103 + 419)\) is approximately \(2\).

Now, let's compare this with the given answer of \(1.97\). The estimation gives us a close approximation, suggesting that the actual value is indeed slightly less than \(2\), likely aligning with \(1.97\).
