Question

Wesley estimated 5.82 - 4.21 to be about 2 is this an overestimate or an underestimate explain?

Answer 1

Answer:

Wesley made the correct estimation if numbers are rounded off.

He did over estimation, if normal calculation is considered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wesley estimated 5.82 - 4.21 to be about 2.

Let us make fair estimations in round figures.

5.82 can be rounded to 6.

4.21 can be rounded to 4.

Now, $6-4=2$

In other way, we can see that $5.82-4.21=1.61$

Here he over estimated.

Answer 2

Overestimate because the answer is 1.61
