Question

Round to the nearest thousand and calculate: $6,251 + $4,749


6,500 + 5,000 = 11,500


6,000 + 5,000 = 11,000


6,000 + 4,000 = 10,000


6,500 + 4,500 = 11,000

Answer 1

To round the numbers $6,251 and $4,749 to the nearest thousand:

- $6,251 rounds to $6,000 (since it is closer to 6,000 than to 7,000).
- $4,749 rounds to $5,000 (since it is closer to 5,000 than to 4,000).

Now, we calculate the rounded values:

\[
6,000 + 5,000 = 11,000
\]

Therefore, the result of rounding $6,251 and $4,749 to the nearest thousand and then adding them is:

\[
\boxed{11,000}
\]
