How do you find a range to estimate each sum
388+192+741
Thank you.
estimate:
388 is 400
192 is 200
741 is 700
add: estimate is 1300
Thank you. So would my range be 1200 - 1400?
That is ok.
Thanks so much.
To find a range to estimate the sum of three numbers, you can use rounding. Here's how you can do it for the given numbers:
1. Round the numbers:
- 388 rounds to 400
- 192 rounds to 200
- 741 rounds to 700
2. Add the rounded numbers together:
400 + 200 + 700 = 1,300
So, the estimated sum of 388 + 192 + 741 is 1,300.
To find a range for this estimate, you can consider the maximum and minimum values that each rounded number could be.
1. Maximum values:
- 388 could round up to 400
- 192 could round up to 200
- 741 could round down to 700
The sum of the maximum values is 400 + 200 + 700 = 1,300.
2. Minimum values:
- 388 could round down to 300
- 192 could round down to 100
- 741 could round up to 800
The sum of the minimum values is 300 + 100 + 800 = 1,200.
Therefore, the range to estimate the sum is from 1,200 to 1,300.
