Use front-end estimation to estimate the sum. 56.7 + 23.44 70 60 80 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True! a liter is a metric unit of measure!

OpenStudy (danjs):

oh capacitance . lol is farid

OpenStudy (danjs):

OpenStudy (danjs):

The SI unit for capacitance... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

OpenStudy (danjs):

named after michael faraday

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:o never saw that before you have enlightened me :)

OpenStudy (danjs):

I am guessing 'Front End Estimation' would be just to add the whole numbers 56.7 + 23.44 = about 56 + 23 = 79 or about 80

OpenStudy (danjs):

or maybe round the numbers first 56.7 + 23.44 = 57 + 23 = 80

OpenStudy (danjs):

ahh thanks @sammixboo , it is the 2 highest place values estimation

OpenStudy (danjs):

so for the problem just use the first 2 highest place digits, and let everything after be zero 56.7 + 23.44 ---> 56 + 23 = 79 about 80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was right :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay

OpenStudy (danjs):

It would be the third choice, if in order of the alphabet, it would be C

OpenStudy (danjs):

oh i thought you just said D, that is a smile face. lol gosh i need to go to bed
