Estimate Sums
Consider the following options:
48 + 47
12 + 49
74 + 24
28 + 51
Let's identify the expression that has a sum nearly about 80.
Find the sum of each expression by rounding the addends.
Let’s look at first option.
Round the addends to the nearest tens and then add.
48 | + | 47 | = | ? |
↓ | ↓ | |||
50 | + | 50 | = | 100 |
This expression has a sum nearly equal to 100.
Now, look at second option.
12 | + | 49 | = | ? |
↓ | ↓ | |||
10 | + | 50 | = | 60 |
This expression has a sum nearly equal to 60.
Now, look at third option.
74 | + | 24 | = | ? |
↓ | ↓ | |||
70 | + | 20 | = | 90 |
This expression has a sum nearly equal to 90.
Now let’s look at the last option.
28 | + | 51 | = | ? |
↓ | ↓ | |||
30 | + | 50 | = | 80 |
This expression has a sum nearly equal to 80.
So, 28 + 51 has a sum nearly to 80.
