Rounding Sum 898Ee8

1. **State the problem:** We need to estimate the sum of $6281$, $3141$, and $4065$ by rounding each number to the nearest hundred. 2. **Rounding rule:** To round to the nearest hundred, look at the tens digit: - If it is 5 or more, round up. - If it is less than 5, round down. 3. **Round each number:** - $6281$: The tens digit is $8$ (which is $\geq 5$), so round up to $6300$. - $3141$: The tens digit is $4$ (which is $< 5$), so round down to $3100$. - $4065$: The tens digit is $6$ (which is $\geq 5$), so round up to $4100$. 4. **Add the rounded numbers:** $$6300 + 3100 + 4100 = 13500$$ 5. **Final answer:** The estimated sum by rounding each number to the nearest hundred is **$13500$**.
