Answer: Estimate means a close guess.
For example, when estimating with decimals, we would round them to the nearest whole number to estimate the answer.
Example: 3.6 + 1.2
1.2 is closest to 1
3.6 is closes to 4
4 + 1 = 5
A good estimate is 5
3.6 + 1.2 = 4.8
4.8 is very close to 5, so 5 is a very good estimate.
