Q. Over many decades, beavers cut down 2,4102,410 trees on the north side of the river. On the south side, they cut down 1,5261,526 more than that. About how many trees did beavers cut down on the south side of the river? Choose the better estimate.\newlineChoices:\newline(A)4,0004,000\newline(B)14,00014,000
  1. Identify North Side Trees: Identify the number of trees cut down on the north side and calculate the number on the south side.\newlineTrees cut down on the north side = 2,4102,410.\newlineTrees cut down on the south side = 2,410+1,5262,410 + 1,526.\newlineCalculation: 2,410+1,526=3,9362,410 + 1,526 = 3,936.
  2. Calculate South Side Trees: Compare the calculated number with the given choices to find the better estimate.\newlineChoices are (A)4,000(A) 4,000 and (B)14,000(B) 14,000.\newline3,9363,936 is closer to 4,0004,000 than to 14,00014,000.
