Estimate each of the following by rounding off each number to nearest hundreds:
$ 874+478 $

Given:

$874+ 478$ 

To do:

Estimate the value of $874+ 478$ by rounding off each number to its nearest 100.

Solution:

Rounding off 874 and 478 to their nearest hundred.

874 to its nearest hundred $= 900$ (Tens digit, 7 is greater than 5)

478 to its nearest hundred $= 500$ (Tens digit, 7 is greater than 5)

Adding 900 and 500 to estimate the value of $874+ 478$:

$900+ 500$

= 1400

So, the answer is 1400.
