Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
The trick is to pick something that should be very easy to get an answer to. If you use a calculator, you are not estimating. 80 divide by 4 is like 8 divide by 4 which gives you 2. Then just add a zero. Here's another one you can try. Put your calculator away to do it. 12 chicken noodle soup cans cost 14 dollars. About how much does 1 can cost
no cheating. No calculator. Is the cost of 1 can more or less than a dollar? If you said more, you've estimated correctly.
Try it the other way. Suppose one can of the soup costs 0.95 cents. How many will 12 cans cost? More or less than 12 dollars.
If you said less, you are estimating correctly. The most useful gift you can take away from any math class is estimation.
We need to find 240,000 written as a whole number multiplied by a power of ten.
We need to get rid of the four zeros behind 24 in 240,000.
24 would be our whole number.
We would need to multiply 24 by 10,000 to get 240,000.
10,000 is equal to 
because there are 4 zeros. Ex. when multiplying 200 by 30, we first multiply 2 * 3 then we add 3 zeros to the end of 6. So for 10*10*10*10, we add 4 zeros to the end of 1 which equals 10,000.
So the answer would be 24 ×
