What don't you understand about this problem?
yes Ms. SUE..please can u answer please..
First, round those numbers to the nearest hundred.
I'll help you from there.
To round each number to the nearest hundred, we need to look at the tens digit. If the tens digit is 5 or greater, we round up to the next hundred. If the tens digit is less than 5, we round down to the current hundred.
Let's round each number to the nearest hundred:
517 to the nearest hundred is 500.
3418 to the nearest hundred is 3400.
6281 to the nearest hundred is 6300.
To estimate the number of people who visited the fair, we add the rounded numbers:
500 + 3400 + 6300 = 10,200.
Therefore, an estimated 10,200 people visited the fair.
