Answer 2

Answer:

190,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to estimate the sum of 137,638 plus 52,091.

First of all, we will round both digits to nearest ten thousands as:

$137,638\approx 140,000$

$52,091\approx 50,000$

Add both numbers:

$140,000+50,000=190,000$

Therefore, our required sum would be 190,000.
