Question : 88 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

(71.89 − 37.12) ÷ 5.23 + 16.92 = ?

Solution:

Concept:

Use approximation to simplify the expression quickly.

Explanation:

Round each number to the nearest whole number.

71.89 \approx 72

and

37.12 \approx 37

So,

(71.89 - 37.12) \approx (72 - 37) = 35

5.23 \approx 5

and

16.92 \approx 17

Now the expression becomes:

35 \div 5 + 17

35 \div 5 = 7

7 + 17 = 24

Thus, the approximate value is

24
