Answer:

The estimated days in a year when it is not foggy = 110 days

The exact days in a year when it is not foggy = 109 days

Explanation:

Solve the problem by using​ addition, subtraction,​ multiplication, or division. First use front end rounding to estimate the answer. Then find the exact answer. The foggiest place in a certain country is City A. How many days is it not foggy each​ year?

The number of days in a year = 365 days

It is foggy there an average of 256days each year.

Find the estimated number of days when it is not foggy =

We round up the numbers

365 days to the nearest tens

= 370 days

256 days to the nearest tens

= 260 days

Hence:370 - 260 days

= 110 days

The exact number of days when it is not foggy =

= 365 − 256

= 109
