There are seats for 500 students in the gym. There are 187 students from Clare's school and 229 students from Noah's school at the performance. Noah estimates that there will be about 100 empty seats. Explain why you agree or disagree with Noah.

500 seats.

187 students from Clare's school rounds to 200.

229 students from Noah's school rounds to 200.

500-400= 100 left over seats. 

What is I agree with Noah because the estimate makes sense.

644-135

What is 509?

500

True or False: 849 rounded to the nearest 10 is 840.

What is false?

500

500 seats.

187 students from Clare's school rounds to 200.

229 students from Noah's school rounds to 200.

500-400= 100 left over seats. 

Based on the estimates, explain why the real answer will be more or less than 100.

What is since we rounded 229 down more than than 187 was rounded up, the real answer should be a little less than 100 left over seats.
