Question 1 Report

By writing each number correct to 1 significant figure, estimate the value of \(\dfrac{412 + 189}{29}\).

Answer Details

Round each number to 1 significant figure before working out the simplified calculation.

\(412 \to 400\), \(189 \to 200\), \(29 \to 30\), giving \(\dfrac{400 + 200}{30}\) [M1].

\(400 + 200 = 600\), and \(600 \div 30 = 20\), so the estimate is \(20\) [A1].
