Use front-end estimation with adjustment to calculate the sum of the following numbers:

2346 + 2355 + 6510 + 910

Answer :

Answer:

12000

Step-by-step explanation:

1. front end estimation:

Identify the front-end digits (the digits in the highest place value):

2346 --> 2000

2355 --> 2000

6510 -->6000

910 --> 0 (since it has fewer digits, we can consider it as 0 for the thousands place)

Add the front-end values:

2000+2000+6000=10000

2. Adjustment:

Now, let’s look at the next digit (the hundreds place) to make an adjustment:

2346 -> 300

2355 -> 300

6510 -> 500

910 -> 900

Add the hundreds place values together: 300+300+500+900=2000

Add this adjustment to the initial front-end estimate: 10000+2000=1200
