There are three petri dishes in a laboratory. The first one contains 22,340 cells, the second contains 43,560 cells, and the last dish contains 36,612 cells. Approximately how many cells are there in total?(1 point)
To find the approximate total number of cells, we can round each number to the nearest hundred and then add them up:
22,340 ≈ 22,400
43,560 ≈ 43,600
36,612 ≈ 36,600
Adding these approximations together gives us:
22,400 + 43,600 + 36,600 = 102,600
Approximately, there are 102,600 cells in total.
