When all the addends in a sum are close to the same number, it is called "rounding." Rounding helps simplify calculations and provide a quick estimate of the total.

What is a method used to estimate a sum when all addends are close to the same value?

ÃŒn that case you can multiply one of the addends, times the number of addends.


When all addends are about the same what can you use to estate their sum?

If all addends are the same, or very near the same, you can take one of the addends and multiply it by the number of addends that exist, and you have the sum. For example: 100 + 101 + 99 + 102 + 100 + 103 + 98 = ? In this case, all addends are close to 100, and there are 7 of them. So, you can approximate the sum by saying: 100 * 7 ...which is 700.

Why can you change the order of the addends in the commutative property?

This is possible because the order of the addends does not matter. For example, 3+8 is the same as 8+3. No matter how you list the addends, the sum will always be the same.

What iis dividing by a number the same as multiplying by its addends by the number then adding the products?

It is pure nonsense. Consider 5/6 (which is less than 1) The addends of 6 are 2 and 4. 5*2 and 5*4 = 10 and 20 and their sum is 30 which is NOT less than 1!
