Answer
(i) Round 64 to the nearest ten: The units digit is 4, so it rounds down to 60.
Round 29 to the nearest ten: The units digit is 9, so it rounds up to 30.
Approximate difference: 60 − 30 = 30
Hence, the approximate difference = 30.
(ii) (186 − 49)
Round 186 to the nearest ten: The units digit is 6, so it rounds up to 190.
Round 49 to the nearest ten: The units digit is 9, so it rounds up to 50.
Approximate difference: 190 − 50 = 140
Hence, the approximate difference = 140.
(iii) (429 − 206)
Round 429 to the nearest ten: The units digit is 9, so it rounds up to 430.
Round 206 to the nearest ten: The units digit is 6, so it rounds up to 210.
Approximate difference: 430 − 210 = 220
Hence, the approximate difference = 220.
