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

Question

32.06 - 27.42

Answer 1

First, let's round the numbers to the nearest hundred's place:

• 32.06 rounds to 0 (as it is closer to 0 than to 100)
• 27.42 rounds to 0 (as it is also closer to 0 than to 100)

Now we can rewrite the problem using our estimates:

Estimate:
0 - 0 = 0

Answer:
The estimated result of 32.06 - 27.42 is 0.

However, the actual answer for the problem is:

32.06 - 27.42 = 4.64
