Answer 2

800 coins.

Explanation:

We have been given that John has 2,456 pennies on his coin collection he has the same number of pennies in 3 boxes. We are asked to estimate the nearest hundred the number of pennies in each box.

First of all, we will divide 2,456 by 3 to find number of pennies in each box.

`\text{Pennies in each box}=(2,456)/(3)`

`\text{Pennies in each box}=818.66667`

Upon rounding our answer to nearest hundred, we will get:

`\text{Pennies in each box}\approx 800`

We will get 800 as the tens value is less than 5.

Therefore, there are approximately 800 coins in each box.
