Estimated the sum and differences

Question

23.8 - 4.7

Answer 1

To estimate the difference \( 23.8 - 4.7 \), we can round the numbers to the nearest whole numbers.

• 23.8 rounds to 24
• 4.7 rounds to 5

Now, we can subtract these rounded numbers:

\[ 24 - 5 = 19 \]

So, the estimated difference is approximately 19.
