Question

find the estimated difference 589916 and 141000

Answer 1

When we do estimation, unless otherwise stated, we always round each number of the number to one significant figure.

Estimate the numbers:

589,916 = 600,000

141,000 = 100,000

Find the difference:

Difference = 600,000 - 100,000 = 500,000

Answer: 500,000
