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

Question

567.3 - 431.5

Answer 1

To estimate the expression \( 567.3 - 431.5 \) by rounding to the nearest hundred:

1. Round \( 567.3 \) to the nearest hundred, which is \( 600 \).
2. Round \( 431.5 \) to the nearest hundred, which is \( 400 \).

Now, rewrite the problem with the estimates:

\[ 600 - 400 \]

Now, calculate the estimated answer:

\[ 600 - 400 = 200 \]

So the estimated answer is \( 200 \).
