Estimate each difference to the nearest thousand:(i) 45974 – 38766(i

1.	Estimate each difference to the nearest thousand:(i) 45974 – 38766(ii) 76003 – 48399
Answer» (i) 45974 – 38766 45974 to the nearest thousand = 46000 and, 38760 to the nearest thousand = 39000 ∴ Required difference = (46000 – 39000) = 7000 (ii) 76003 – 48399 76003 to the nearest thousand = 76000 and, 48399 to the nearest thousand = 48000 ∴ Required difference = (76000 – 48000) = 28000

Estimate each difference to the nearest thousand:(i) 45974 – 38766(ii) 76003 – 48399

Answer»

(i) 45974 – 38766

45974 to the nearest thousand = 46000 and, 38760 to the nearest thousand = 39000

∴ Required difference = (46000 – 39000) = 7000

(ii) 76003 – 48399

76003 to the nearest thousand = 76000 and, 48399 to the nearest thousand = 48000

∴ Required difference = (76000 – 48000) = 28000
