章节大纲

  • Juan goes to the store and purchases two items. One costs $21.95 and the other costs $14.25. He wants to estimate his total before he gets to the register, but he isn't sure how to estimate the values. What is an estimate of Juan's total?
    ::胡安去商店购买两件物品,其中一件费用21.95美元,其他费用14.25美元,他想在到登记簿之前估计他的总数,但他不确定如何估计价值。胡安的总数是多少?

    In this concept, you will learn how to estimate sums and differences of decimals.

    ::在此概念中,您将学会如何估算小数点的总数和差异。

    Estimating Sums and Differences
    ::估计和差额

    To  estimate  means to find an answer that is close to but not exact. It is a reasonable answer to a problem.
    ::估计如何找到接近但并非准确的答案,这是解决问题的合理答案。

    sum  is the answer of an addition problem. A  difference  is the answer of a subtraction problem.
    ::总和是附加问题的答案。差数是减法问题的答案。

    The easiest way to estimate a sum or a difference of decimals is to  round  the decimal. If you round the decimal to the nearest whole number, you can complete the problem using mental math or at least  simplify  the problem so that finding an answer is easier.
    ::估计总和或小数点差的最简单方式是四舍五入小数点。如果将小数点舍入小数点到最接近的整数点,您可以通过心理数学或至少简化问题来解决问题,以便更容易找到答案。

    Let's look at an example.
    ::让我们举个例子。

    Estimate 15.7 + 4.9 = _____
    ::估计数15.7+4.9=____

    In this problem, you only want to estimate the sum. You can do that by  rounding  each decimal to the nearest whole number.
    ::在此问题上,您只想要估算总和。您可以通过四舍五入每个小数点到最近的整数来做到这一点。

    In 15.7, the place being rounded is the 5. Look at the 7 and round up.
    ::在15.7中,四舍五入的地方是五舍五舍五入的地方,看看七舍五入的地方,然后四舍五入。

    15.7 becomes 16
    ::15.7变成16

    In 4.9, the place being rounded is the 4. Look at the 9 and round up.
    ::在4.9中,四舍五入的地方是四舍五入的地方,看看九舍五入的地方,然后四舍五入。

    4.9 becomes 5
    ::4.9改为5

    Next, rewrite the problem.
    ::下一个,重写问题。

    16 + 5 = 21

    The answer is that 15.7 + 4.9 is approximately 21.
    ::答案是,15.7+4.9约为21。

    You can also use rounding when estimating sums of larger numbers.
    ::在估算较大数字的数值时也可以使用四舍五入法。

    Let's look at another example.
    ::让我们再举一个例子。

    Estimate 350.12 + 120.78 = _____
    ::估计350.12+120.78=____

    Round each number to the nearest whole number to find a reasonable estimate.
    ::每一组数字到最近的整数,以找到合理的估计数。

    350.12 becomes 350
    ::350.12变成350

    120.78 becomes 121
    ::120.78变成121

    350 + 121 = 471

    The answer is that 350.12 + 120.78 is approximately 471.
    ::答案是350.12+120.78大约为471。

    Now let's look at estimations with subtraction.
    ::现在让我们用减法来看待估算。

    You can work on these problems in the same way, by rounding.
    ::你可以以同样的方式,通过四舍五入来处理这些问题。

    Estimate 45.78 - 22.10 = _____
    ::估计数45.78 - 22.10=______

    45.78 rounds to 46
    ::45.78发至46发

    22.10 rounds to 22
    ::22.10发至22发

    46 - 22 = 24

    The answer is that 45.78 - 22.10 is approximately 24.
    ::答案是45.78 - 22.10大约是24。

    Earlier, you were given a problem about Juan who wants to estimate the total cost of his purchases.
    ::更早之前,你曾听说 Juan想估计他购买的总成本的问题。

    Estimate the sum of $21.95 and $14.25.
    ::估计数额为21.95美元和14.25美元。

    First, round each decimal to the nearest whole dollar.
    ::第一,每一小数点到最近的整美元。

    $21.95 becomes $22
    ::21.95美元变成22美元

    $14.25 becomes $14
    ::14.25美元变成14美元

    Next, add the rounded values.
    ::下加四舍五入值。

    $22 + $14 = $36

    Then, write the approximate sum.
    ::然后写下大约的金额

    $36

    The answer is that $21.95 + $14.25 is approximately $36.
    ::答案是21.95美元+14.25美元约为36美元。

    ::588.80美元变成589美元

    $310.11 becomes $310
    ::310.11美元变成310美元
