or problems 1-3 make an estimate by rounding to the nearest hundreds place. Rewrite the problem with your estimate and answer.

523.7 - 267.9

Answer 1

To estimate the expression \( 523.7 - 267.9 \) by rounding to the nearest hundred:

1. Round 523.7 to the nearest hundred:

   • 523.7 rounds to 500.

2. Round 267.9 to the nearest hundred:

   • 267.9 rounds to 300.

Now rewrite the problem using the estimates:

\( 500 - 300 \)

Now, calculate the estimated answer:

\( 500 - 300 = 200 \)

So, the estimated answer is 200.
