9,348 + 102 + 5,802 + 1,933
A. 17,185
B. 17,175
C. 16,175
D. 15,175

Estimate: 9,000 + 100 + 6,000 + 2,000 = 17,100

Step 1

Add the ones.
Regroup if necessary

Step 2

Add the tens.
Regroup if necessary.

Step 3

Add the hundreds, regroup, and then add the thousands.

The correct answer is A

Explain It

Question 1.
How are the ones regrouped in the example above?
Answer:

Question 2.
Reasonableness In Step 3 above, how can you tell that the answer is reasonable?

36,000 + 25,000 = 61,000

The sum is reasonable because it is close to the estimate of 61,000.

Adding more than two numbers
Add 130,283 + 263,823 + 396,538.
Estimate:
130,000 + 264,000 + 397,000 = 791,000

The sum is reasonable because it is close to the estimate of 791,000.
