Gabrielle Yates · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Student estimates

10.357 to 10.4

12.062 to 12.1

7.506 to 7.1

Therefore, sum = 10.4 + 12.1 + 7.1

= 29.6 approximately it becomes 30 because we round to the nearest tens.

B. Sum without approximation gives

10.357 + 12.062 + 7.506

= 29.925

Therefore, difference becomes

Approximated value - Unapproximated value

30 - 29.925

= 0.075
