Slide 13Copyright 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000 Pearson Education, Inc.
We see that rounding to the nearest ten gives a better estimate than rounding to the nearest hundred.

b Estimate sums, differences, products, and quotients by rounding.
Slide 14Copyright 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000 Pearson Education, Inc.
When we round to make an estimate, the outcome is rarely the same as the exact result. Thus we cannot use an equals sign when we round. Instead, we use the symbol This symbol means “is approximately equal to.”

A sentence like 8 + 5 = 13 is called an equation. It is a true equation. The equation 4 + 8 = 11 is a false equation. A sentence like 7 < 11 is called an inequality. The sentence is a true inequality. The sentence 23 > 69 is a false inequality.
