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

Question

73.6 + 21.2

Answer 1

To estimate by rounding to the nearest hundreds place, we can round each number:

• 73.6 rounds to 100
• 21.2 rounds to 0 (since it's closer to zero than to 100)

Now we can rewrite the problem with our estimates:

Estimated Problem:

100 + 0

Estimated Answer:

100
