The definition of estimate in math is to find an answer close to the actual answer to the problem. For example, if one ink pen costs $1.90 then what is the estimate for the cost of five ink pens? The answer would be $10.00 because we can estimate by rounding the $1.90 up to $2.00 and then multiplying by five.
