Rounding The span of an eagle ray’s fin is 3. 27 m. The span of her baby’s fin is 0. 88 m. Estimate the difference between the spans. Round to the nearest whole number before you find the difference. 3. 27− 0. 88≈3− 1 ≈2 Round to the nearest whole number Subtract
Estimate. First round to the nearest whole number 1. 75+0. 92 14. 34− 7. 8 4. 90× 6. 25 2+1=3 14− 8=6 5× 6=30
Front End Estimation Add the “front-end” digits, ignoring the decimals. Estimate the decimals. Add the decimal estimate to the front-end sum.
Example 5. 45 + Front-end: 5 + 9 + 3 + 6 = 23 9. 89 Decimals: 3. 53 • . 03 is close to 0. 6. 03 • 1 + 0 + 1 = 2 About 25 • . 89 is close to 1. • . 45 +. 53 is close to 1. Put the front-end with the decimal: 23 + 2 = 25.
