Answer
196
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsRound the number of tree seedlings to the nearest 10.
The number of tree seedlings is 3918. The digit in the ones place is 8, which is 5 or greater, so we round up the tens digit.
Round the number of schools to the nearest 10.
The number of schools is 23. The digit in the ones place is 3, which is less than 5, so we round down (keep the tens digit as it is).
Estimate the number of tree seedlings donated to each school.
Divide the rounded number of seedlings by the rounded number of schools.
The estimated number of tree seedlings donated to each school is 196.
