Question

Obtain an estimate for the following computation by rounding the numbers so that the resulting arithmetic can easily be performed by hand or in your head. Then, use a calculator to perform the computation. How reasonable is your estimate when compared to the actual answer? 359+558 Round the two numbers to the nearest ten. An estimate of the sum is:______. The actual sum is How reasonable is your estimate when compared to the actual answer? A. Not reasonable. The estimate seems too low compared to the actual answer B. Reasonable. The estimate seems a little tower compared to the actual answer. C Reasonable. The estimate sooms a little higher compared to the actual answer. D. Not reasonable. The estimate seems too high compared to the actual answer

Answer 1

Answer: C. Reasonable. The estimate sooms a little higher compared to the actual answer

Explanation:

The actual answer to 359+558 is 917. On the other hand, 359 to the nearest ten is 360 while 558 to the nearest ten is 560. The addition of the numbers will be: = 360 + 560 = 920

The estimated answer is 920 while the actual number is 917. Therefore, the estimate is reasonable as the estimate sooms a little higher compared to the actual answer.
