make an estimate by rounding to the nearest hundreds place. Rewrite the problem with your estimate and answer.

Question

523.7- 267.9

Answer 1

To round the numbers to the nearest hundreds place:

• 523.7 rounds to 500
• 267.9 rounds to 300

Now we can rewrite the problem using the estimates:

Estimated Problem:
500 - 300

Estimated Answer:
500 - 300 = 200

So, the estimate of the problem \( 523.7 - 267.9 \) is approximately 200.
