Estimate: $64-23$
Given :
The given expression is $64 - 23$.
To do :
We have to estimate the given expression.
Solution :
Round and Estimating Subtraction Problems in Tens:
- Round the numbers that will be subtracted to the nearest ten: if the number ends in 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, we round down. If the number ends in 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, we round up.
- Subtract the rounded numbers.
Therefore,
64 is rounded to 60. (Since 4 is less than 5)
23 is rounded to 20. (Since 3 is less than 3)
$60-20 = 40$.
The estimation of $64-23$ is 40.
