I am learning about estimating sums and differences.One of the questions is brigid worked 16.75 h.Kevin worked 12.50 h.About how many more hours did Brigid work than Kevin.

Respuesta :

Brigid worked 16.75 hr

Kevin worked 12.50 hr

Round to the nearest whole number by looking if the tenths are greater than 5

Round up Brigid to 17 hrs because 7 is greater than or equal to 5

Round up Kevin to 13 hrs because 5 is greater than or equal to 5

Subtract their times

17-13= 4 hrs

Comparing it to the original answer (if we didn't estimate) of 4.25, it is pretty close and 4 hrs is a good estimate
