The correct answer is "28 + 54".
Solution:
To find the correct answer, we find the sum of each expression by rounding (up or down) the addends.
At Option A:
Round the addends to the nearest tens and then add.
48 + 57 = ?
↓ ↓
50 + 60 = 110
This expression has a sum nearly equal to 110.
At Option B:
12 + 49 = ?
↓ ↓
10 + 50 = 60
This expression has a sum nearly equal to 60.
At option C:
74 + 24 = ?
↓ ↓
70 + 20 = 90
This expression has a sum nearly equal to 90.
At the last option D:
28 + 54 = ?
↓ ↓
30 + 50 = 80
This expression has a sum nearly equal to 80.
So, the desired answer is "28 + 54".
