Step-by-step solution for: Estimation Worksheets - Free Printables - Math Fun Worksheets
You're asked to estimate the sum or difference by rounding each number to the nearest thousand, then performing the addition or subtraction with the rounded numbers.
---
Look at the hundreds digit (the 3rd digit from the right):
- If it’s 5 or greater, round up.
- If it’s 4 or less, round down.
Examples:
- 1,446 → hundreds digit is 4 → round down → 1,000
- 2,225 → hundreds digit is 2 → round down → 2,000
- 5,786 → hundreds digit is 7 → round up → 6,000
- 2,887 → hundreds digit is 8 → round up → 3,000
---
Now let’s solve each problem one by one:
---
5,786 → 6,000
– 2,887 → – 3,000
= 6,000 – 3,000 = 3,000
---
1,347 → 1,000
+ 4,897 → + 5,000
= 1,000 + 5,000 = 6,000
---
6,903 → 7,000
– 2,501 → – 3,000
= 7,000 – 3,000 = 4,000
---
5,981 → 6,000
+ 3,101 → + 3,000
= 6,000 + 3,000 = 9,000
---
4,444 → 4,000
– 2,445 → – 2,000
= 4,000 – 2,000 = 2,000
---
4,099 → 4,000
+ 3,223 → + 3,000
= 4,000 + 3,000 = 7,000
---
5,559 → 6,000
– 3,453 → – 3,000
= 6,000 – 3,000 = 3,000
---
4,822 → 5,000
+ 2,334 → + 2,000
= 5,000 + 2,000 = 7,000
---
5,665 → 6,000
– 2,115 → – 2,000
= 6,000 – 2,000 = 4,000
---
5,776 → 6,000
+ 2,223 → + 2,000
= 6,000 + 2,000 = 8,000
---
4,009 → 4,000
– 2,010 → – 2,000
= 4,000 – 2,000 = 2,000
---
1,665 → 2,000
+ 2,999 → + 3,000
= 2,000 + 3,000 = 5,000
---
8,999 → 9,000
– 4,499 → – 4,000
= 9,000 – 4,000 = 5,000
---
1,500 → 2,000 *(since 500 rounds up)*
+ 2,500 → + 3,000 *(since 500 rounds up)*
= 2,000 + 3,000 = 5,000
---
3,499 → 3,000 *(hundreds digit is 4 → round down)*
– 2,501 → – 3,000 *(hundreds digit is 5 → round up)*
= 3,000 – 3,000 = 0
---
7,346 → 7,000 *(hundreds digit is 3 → round down)*
– 2,995 → – 3,000 *(hundreds digit is 9 → round up)*
= 7,000 – 3,000 = 4,000
---
2,345 → 2,000 *(hundreds digit is 3 → round down)*
+ 3,225 → + 3,000 *(hundreds digit is 2 → round down)*
= 2,000 + 3,000 = 5,000
