Directions: What approximate value will come in place of question mark (?).
1. 2744.03 – 840 + 11.07 = ? ÷ 8.02
A. 4
B. – 8
C. – 5
D. 15
E. 20
Solution :
2744.03 – 840 + 11.07 = ? ÷ 8.02
Approximate value:
2744 – 841 + 11.07 = ? ÷ 8
14 – 29 +11 = ? ÷ 2
25 – 29 = ? ÷ 2
–4 × 2 = ?
? = – 8
Hence, option B is correct.
2. 1164 × 128 ÷ 8.008 + 969.007 = ?
A. 18800
B. 19000
C. 19600
D. 19200
E. 18600
Solution : By taking the approximate value for the expression, we have
1164 × 128 ÷ 8.008 + 969.007 = ?
? = 1164 × 16 + 969
? = 18624 + 969 = 19593 ≈ 19600
Hence, option C is correct.
3. 2222.1 × 11 + 3333.1 × 11.01 + 4444 × 11 + 5555 × 11 – 6666.1 × 11 = ?
A. 10864
