Question

Estimate each sum to the nearest thousand: There are 54 balls in box A and 79 balls in box B. Estimate the total number of balls in both the boxes taken together.

Answer 1

Number of balls in box A = 54
Number of balls in box B = 79
Estimated number of balls in box A = 50
Estimated number of balls in box B = 80
∴ Total estimated number of balls in both the boxes = (50 + 80) = 130
