Subject :IMO    Class : Class 6

(7268 – 2427) estimated to the nearest hundred is

A 4800
B 4900
C 4841

As per the NCERT text book, first the number should be rounded off to hundred and then subtraction should be done. so it is 7300-2400=4900.

It generally mentioned clearly what to do first, the actual subtraction or the estimation by SOF. But here, they asked us to estimate 7268-2427. So,we should first do the actual subtraction. By that the answer is 4800.

WHAT IS THE USE OF ESTIMATING IF WE ARE DOING THE NORMAL SUBTRACTION. THE ANSWER SHOULD BE 4900 AS THE NUMBER 7268 ESTIMATED TO THE NEAREST IS 7300 AND THEE NUMBER 2427 ESTIMATED TO THE NEAREST HUNDRED IS 2400. 7300-2400=4900

What is the point in estimating if we are anyway doing the actual subtraction? It makes sense if we round off the numbers 7268 and 2427 to the nearest hundred and then subtract, but that gives 7300-2400 viz.4900

Ans 43:

Krithi Manasvini from Alwin Memorial Public School, Chennai
