Question

Estimate 26,445-7912 by rounding each number to the nearest thousand

Answer 1

Given:

$26,445-7912$

First, we will round each number to the nearest thousand then subtract the numbers:

Rounding of 26,445 to the nearest thousand = 26,000

Rounding of 7,912 to the nearest thousand = 8,000

So, the operation will be:

$26,000-8,000=18,000$

So, the answer will be 18,000
