Answer
(i) 439 + 334 + 4317
Rough estimate (nearest hundreds):
439 → 400 (tens digit 3 < 5)
334 → 300 (tens digit 3 < 5)
4317 → 4300 (tens digit 1 < 5)
Estimated sum = 400 + 300 + 4300 = 5,000.
Closer estimate (nearest tens):
439 → 440 (ones digit 9 > 5)
334 → 330 (ones digit 4 < 5)
4317 → 4320 (ones digit 7 > 5)
Estimated sum = 440 + 330 + 4320 = 5,090.
Hence, the rough estimate is 5,000 and the closer estimate is 5,090.
(ii) 8325 - 491
Rough estimate (nearest hundreds):
8325 → 8300 (tens digit 2 < 5)
491 → 500 (tens digit 9 > 5)
Estimated difference = 8300 - 500 = 7,800.
Closer estimate (nearest tens):
8325 → 8330 (ones digit 5)
491 → 490 (ones digit 1 < 5)
Estimated difference = 8330 - 490 = 7,840.
Hence, the rough estimate is 7,800 and the closer estimate is 7,840.
(iii) 1,08,734 - 47,599
Rough estimate (nearest hundreds):
1,08,734 → 1,08,700 (tens digit 3 < 5)
47,599 → 47,600 (tens digit 9 > 5)
Estimated difference = 1,08,700 - 47,600 = 61,100.
Closer estimate (nearest tens):
1,08,734 → 1,08,730 (ones digit 4 < 5)
47,599 → 47,600 (ones digit 9 > 5)
Estimated difference = 1,08,730 - 47,600 = 61,130.
Hence, the rough estimate is 61,100 and the closer estimate is 61,130.
(iv) 4,89,348 - 48,365
Rough estimate (nearest hundreds):
4,89,348 → 4,89,300 (tens digit 4 < 5)
48,365 → 48,400 (tens digit 6 > 5)
Estimated difference = 4,89,300 - 48,400 = 4,40,900.
Closer estimate (nearest tens):
4,89,348 → 4,89,350 (ones digit 8 > 5)
48,365 → 48,370 (ones digit 5)
Estimated difference = 4,89,350 - 48,370 = 4,40,980.
Hence, the rough estimate is 4,40,900 and the closer estimate is 4,40,980.
