Show transcript
It may be helpful to estimate an answer to check the magnitude is correct. It can be useful to use rounding to significant figures when dealing with very big or very small numbers in context. Estimates can help when making decisions about maximum or minimum possible answers in real life contexts. You can use Fermi estimation to find approximate solutions to problems.
