Estimate the difference by rounding to
the hundred : 6238 - 4197
Would the answer be 2000?
6200-4200=2000
To estimate the difference by rounding to the hundreds place, you would round both numbers to the nearest hundred.
For 6238, the hundreds digit is 2. Since the digit to the right of it is less than 5, you would round down to the nearest hundred. So 6238 rounded to the nearest hundred would be 6200.
For 4197, the hundreds digit is 4. Since the digit to the right of it is equal to or greater than 5, you would round up to the nearest hundred. So 4197 rounded to the nearest hundred would be 4200.
Now, you can subtract the rounded numbers:
6200 - 4200 = 2000
So the estimated difference by rounding to the nearest hundred is 2000.
