Harriet counts 15 big boxes and 12 small boxes of notebooks. Each large box contains 189 notebooks, and each small box contains 79 notebooks. Estimate the total number of notebooks. Is your estimate an overestimate or an underestimate? Explain why it is better to have an overestimate than an underestimate.

its better to overestimate better than underestimate because the numbers of actual notebooks is already larger then the amount counted
