Answer 1

To estimate the total number of cherry tomatoes Jonah picked, we can round the numbers to the nearest hundred:

- For May: 287 rounds to 300
- For June: 339 rounds to 300

Adding these estimates together:
300 + 300 = 600

Now let's solve for the actual total:
287 + 339 = 626

So, the estimate is 600, and the solution is 626.

The correct response is:
Estimate: 600; solution: 626.
