Answer:

The estimated sum of the distances ran in  the three months to the nearest kilometer is 116.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided Table.

Months     Total Distance Andrea Ran

March                     48.7  kilometers

 April                      31.2  kilometers

May                        35.66 kilometers

First round up the number to the nearest ones place as shown:

Months     Total Distance Andrea Ran

March                  48.7  ≈ 49 kilometers

 April                   31.2  ≈ 31 kilometers

May                     35.66 ≈ 36 kilometers

Now add them

49+31+36=116 kilometers

Hence, the estimated sum of the distances ran in  the three months to the nearest kilometer is 116.
