Question

Is 500 a good estimate for the sum of 362 and 211? If it is, explain why it is a good estimate. If it is not, explain why it is a bad estimate.

Answer 1

Answer: That is a good estimate

Step-by-step explanation: The reason it is a good estimate is because 2+3=5 so 362+211 might be a good estimate. It will also most likely round up to 500. However if you aren't rounding this is not a good estimate, 200+300 would be a better estimate.
