Question

Pablo drove 23.1 miles to his aunt’s house, then drove 19.24 miles to his friend’s house. Which estimate can Pablo use to determine the distance he drove altogether?

Answer 1

if you round all the numbers together youll get 23 and 19 because 1 is lower than 5 and the 2 in 19.24 is lower than 5 so itll be c 23+19=42.

Answer 2

23.1 can be estimated to 23 rounded to 20.

19.24 can be estimated to 19 rounded to 20.

The answer would be 42 which would be rounded to 40.
