To estimate the sum of the numbers \(1085\), \(7250\), and \(1419\) by rounding to the nearest thousand, we will follow these steps: 1. **Round each number to the nearest thousand:** - \(1085\) rounds to \(1000\) (since it is closer to \(1000\) than to \(2000\)). - \(7250\) rounds to \(7000\) (since it is closer to \(7000\) than to \(8000\)). - \(1419\) rounds to \(1000\) (since it is closer to \(1000\) than to \(2000\)). 2. **Add the rounded numbers:** - Now we will add the rounded values: \[ 1000 + 7000 + 1000 \] 3. **Calculate the sum:** - Performing the addition: \[ 1000 + 7000 = 8000 \] \[ 8000 + 1000 = 9000 \] Thus, the estimated sum is \(9000\). Therefore, the final answer is: \[ \text{An estimate for the sum is } 9000. \]
