Question

The correct estimation for $4590-1890$ by rounding to the nearest thousands is

• A. $3000$
• B. $2000$
• C. $5000$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $3000$

Let's start by rounding off the numbers to the nearest thousands.

To round off $4590$ to the nearest thousands place, we check the number in the hundreds place. It is $5$ so we round it up to $5000$.



And for $1890$, hundreds digit i.e. 8 is greater than 5, so we can round it up to $2000$.



So the difference after the estimation would be $5000-2000=3000$
