125.009 + 69.999 + 104.989 = ?
Lets assume, each value is approximated to nearest whole number
⇒ ? ≈ 125 + 70 + 105Correct Option: B
125.009 + 69.999 + 104.989 = ?
Lets assume, each value is approximated to nearest whole number
⇒ ? ≈ 125 + 70 + 105
⇒ ? ≈ 300

? = 16.003 x 27.998 - 209.010
? ≈ 16 x 28 - 210 = 448 - 210Correct Option: D
? = 16.003 x 27.998 - 209.010
? ≈ 16 x 28 - 210 = 448 - 210
? = 238 ≈ 240
- 840.003 ÷ 23.999 = ?

? = 840.003 ÷ 23.999
Here one number is increased and other is decreased to their nearest whole number.Correct Option: C
? = 840.003 ÷ 23.999
Here one number is increased and other is decreased to their nearest whole number
= 840 ÷ 24 = 35

? = 6885.009 - 419.999 - 94.989
= 6885 - 420 - 95Correct Option: C
? = 6885.009 - 419.999 - 94.989
= 6885 - 420 - 95 ≈ 6370
