Question

Estimate the sum or difference, by rounding each number to its largest place (front-end rounding)–36.673+39.999

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

Given the difference:

`-36.673+39.999`

In front-end rounding, we consider the number with the largest place value.

In -36.673, the number with the largest place value is 3.

The digit after 3 us 6, so we round up as follows:

`-36.673\approx-40`

Likewise, In 39.999, the number with the largest place value is 3.

The digit after 3 us 9, so we round up as follows:

`39.999\approx40`

Therefore:

`-36.673+39.999\approx-40+40=0`

The diffrence is 0 using front-end rounding.
