Answer choice: [B] or [C]; could be considered correct; depending on the perspective (explained below). <em><u>Personally, I would go with: Answer choice: [C]: "74" ; because:</u></em> 1) It's an easier number to "work with" than "Answer choice: [B]: "73.9" ; and: 2) The question asks to "estimate the answer". ____________________________________________________________ One interpretation would be: ______________________________ Consider the math problem given: ________________________________ " <span>471.41 – 397.46 = ? " ; _____________________________ And round each of THESE values to the nearest TENTH: ________________________________________________ 471.4 </span>– 397.5 = 73.9 ; this answer: "73.9" ; is already rounded to the nearest "tenth"; and does correspond with answer choice: [B]. ____________________________________________________ Yet, answer interpretation of this math problem, would be: ____________________________________________________ Given: "<span>471.41 – 397.46 = ?? " ; ________________________________ Solve this problem as it is; and round the actual answer obtained to the nearest "tenth": ___________________________________________ Doing so, we get: ___________________________________________ </span> "471.41 – 397.46 = 73.95 ." This value, rounded to the nearest "tenth", would be: "74.0" (which is not an answer choice, technically speaking); or "74" (because, in "mathematics", "74.0 = 74"; and we are asked in the problem to "estimate for the answer", so the answer would be: Answer choice: [C]: 74 . _____________________________________________________ So, answer choice: [B] or [C]; could be considered correct; depending on the perspective.

For any two numbers X and Y, you can figure out how many times larger X is than Y by dividing X by Y . For example , 8 is 4 fine larger than 2 because 8/2=4 5*10^6/5*10^4 = 5/5*10^6/10^4 = 1*10^2 = 100
