Round each number to the nearest hundred to estimate the sum.

48,132 + 32,884

Drag the numbers to the correct place in the equation. Numbers may be used once or not at all.

48, 100 + Response area = Response area

1 answer

To round each number to the nearest hundred:

  1. 48,132 rounds to 48,100 (because the tens digit is 3, which is less than 5).
  2. 32,884 rounds to 32,900 (because the tens digit is 8, which is 5 or more).

Now, you can estimate the sum:

48,100 + 32,900 = 81,000

So, the completed equation using the rounded values is:

48,100 + 32,900 = 81,000.
