Estimating Sums and Differences
Lesson

How can you estimate with decimals?
Understand it!
To estimate means to find an approximate answer or solution.
Changing numbers to
other numbers that are
easy to compute can
help you estimate the
sums or differences of
decimals.
The 10-second barrier in the 100-metre sprint was broken in
the 1968 Olympics, when the winning time was 9·95 seconds.
