Estimate by rounding:
-to the nearest thousand:
9637+6387+662+403=17089 going to nearest thousand would make this 17000 am i right?
Right!
10000
You did not give me the right anwser
Yes, you are correct! To estimate to the nearest thousand, you round the given numbers to the nearest thousand and then add them up.
In this case, let's round each number:
9637 rounds to 10000
6387 rounds to 6000
662 rounds to 1000
403 rounds to 0
Now, add the rounded numbers together:
10000 + 6000 + 1000 + 0 = 17000
Therefore, the estimated sum to the nearest thousand is 17000. Well done!
