4-1 Estimate with decimals
Learn to estimate decimal sums, differences,
products, and quotients.
Course 2
4-1 Estimate with Decimals
Jessie earned $27.00 for baby-sitting. She wants to use the
money to buy a ticket to a water park for $14.75 and a
souvenir T-shirt for $13.20.
To find out if Jessie has enough money to buy both items, you
can use estimation. To estimate the total cost of the ticket and
the T-shirt, round each price to the nearest dollar, or integer.
Then add the rounded values.

$13.202
2 < 5, so round to $13
+ $13
$28
The estimated cost is $28, so Jessie does
not have enough money to buy both items.
To estimate decimal sums and differences,
round each decimal to the nearest integer
and then add or subtract.

Remember!
To round to the nearest integer, look at the digit
in the tenths place. If it is greater than or equal
to 5, round to the next integer. If it is less than
5, keep the same integer.

You can use compatible numbers when
estimating.
Compatible numbers are numbers that
replace the numbers in the problem and
are easier to use.

Guidelines for Using Compatible Numbers
When multiplying. . .
round numbers to the
nearest nonzero integer
or to numbers that are
easy to multiply.
Course 2
When dividing. . .
round numbers so that
they divide without leaving
a remainder.
