Answer: Her estimation is not reasonabl.fdgfdgfdgfd

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

38% of 63.

He estimated 38% as 40%

and

63 is estimated as 70.

and then he multiplied 70 by 0.4 and get 28.

But her estimation is not reasonable.

63 must be estimated as 60 instead of 70.

We always check the last digit, if is more than 5, then it is rounded off to next digit.

If the last digit is less than 5, then it is rounded off to that digit itself.

So, In case of 63, last digit is 3 which is less than 5 so, it will becomes 60.

So, 40% of 60 is given by

$\dfrac{40}{100}\times 60\\\\=0.4\times 60\\\\=24$

Hence, her estimation is not reasonable.
