wesley estimated 5.82-4.21 to be about 2. Is this an overestimate or an underestimate
2, because 6-4=2. But it's not that because you round 5 to 6 and 4 to 5 and subtract that and get 1. So its an under estimate.
I'd say it's about right. 6 - 4 = 2
However, the actual answer is smaller -- 1.61
5.82-4.21 = 1.61. So the answer is ??
Id say its 2 cause 6 minus 4 is two
Westly estimated 5.82-4.21to be about 2. Is this an overestimate or an underestimate? Explain.
To determine whether Wesley's estimate of 5.82 - 4.21 is an overestimate or an underestimate, we need to find the actual value of the subtraction.
First, subtract 4.21 from 5.82:
5.82 - 4.21 = 1.61
Now let's compare Wesley's estimated value (2) with the actual value (1.61):
Since 2 is greater than 1.61, Wesley's estimate is an overestimate.
