Answer 1

The New York museum attracted 6,274,289, while the Chicago museum attracted 5,772,857.

Round to the nearest million. Note that if the number in the hundred-thousands place value is 5 or greater, round up. If it is 4 or less, round down.

6,274,289 => 6,000,000

5,772,857 => 6,000,000

Combine the two terms

6,000,000 + 6,000,000 = 12,000,000

a) 12,000,000 is your answer

hope this helps
