Question

Estimate. Round each number to the nearest thousand. 5,486+8,602

Answer 1

5,000+9,000=14,000
That would be the estimate since 5,486 is under 500 so it could only be rounded down to 5,000 and 8,602 is above 500 so it can be rounded up to 9,000

Answer 2

Answer: Estimated value is 14,000.

Explanation:

Since we know that

5,486 + 8,602

We need to estimate it to nearest thousands.

So, 5,486 becomes 5000

And 8,602 becomes 9000.

So, 5000 + 9000 = 14,000

Hence, estimated value is 14,000.
