Answer:No the student was not right.Neither of the estimations were right because she did not estimate at al.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Round 49 to the nearest ten: 50.

2.Round 184 to the nearest ten:180.

3.Add 50+180 to get 230.

The student was not right because she did not estimate 49 nor 184.
