Question

Maya took two flights to travel home from Bangkok, Thailand. She traveled 8,276 miles from Bangkok to Los Angeles on the first flight. She traveled 2,451 miles from Los Angeles to New York on the second flight. About how far did Maya travel by plane? Round each number to the nearest thousand to find the answer.

Answer 1

10,000 is ur answer rounded to the nearest thousand :)

Answer 2

Okay. To find the number of miles Maya traveled, we should add both of the numbers together to find the answer. 8,276 + 2,451 is 10,727 or 11,000 when rounded to the nearest thousand. Maya traveled about 11,000 miles by plane.

Note: When you round both numbers to the nearest thousand, you get 10,000, but this answer asks for the nearest thousand and the actual gives a different answer. But depending on the situation, 10,000 might have to be the number that you use.
