In order to estimate this problem we must first estimate the two numbers involved.
137,638 rounds up to 138,000.
Since the 6 is bigger than 5 it makes the number 7 round up to 8
Now..
52,091 rounds out to 52,000
Since the number to the left of the 2 is not bigger than 5 then it stays the same at 52,000
Now we have to add our estimated numbers.
138,000 + 52,000 = 190,000
Your answer is 190,000
Good Luck! :)
