Is 100 a good estimate for the difference of 712 and 589? If it is, explain why it is a good estimate. If it is not, explain why it is a bad estimate.

It is a bad estimate because the gap between 712 and 589 is clearly (if you were just estimating in hundreds) would be 200

200 would be a better guess
