We can round off each term to its nearest hundred to make our calculation easy.
796 can be rounded off to 800. 314 can be rounded off to 300. Hence, the estimated difference = 800 - 300 = 500.
Question 1(b) Estimate the following using general rule: 796 – 314
Estimate each of the following using general rule:
(a) 730 + 998 (b) 796 − 314 (c) 12, 904 + 2, 888
(d) 28, 292 − 21, 496
Make ten more such examples of addition, subtraction and estimation of their outcome.
