Question: 289 elementary school students and 120 middle school students wrote letters for a time capsule. Estimate the total number of letters written.


A ) 410
B ) 400
C ) 300
D ) 500

Steps to derive

1 Round up 289 to the nearest hundred = 300

2 Round down 120 to the nearest hundred = 100

3 300 + 100 = 400
 [Add the rounded values.]

4 So, the estimated number of letters written are about 400.



Hence the right answer is Option B
