Rounding and Subtracting

Estimating numbers makes you speedy! Round the numbers before subtracting. Remember, when rounding to the nearest ten: If the number in the ones place is 5 or greater, round up to the nearest ten. If the number in the ones place is 4 or less, round down to the nearest ten. Example: 18 20 14 10

Example

89 11 = 77 51 = 54 20 = 19 12 = 74 57 = 96 65 = 49 34 = 52 27 =
