196

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Round 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.
    3918≈39203918 \approx 3920

  2. 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).
    23≈2023 \approx 20

  3. Estimate the number of tree seedlings donated to each school.

    Divide the rounded number of seedlings by the rounded number of schools.
    Estimated seedlings per school=Rounded total seedlingsRounded number of schools\text{Estimated seedlings per school} = \frac{\text{Rounded total seedlings}}{\text{Rounded number of schools}}
    Estimated seedlings per school=392020\text{Estimated seedlings per school} = \frac{3920}{20}
    Estimated seedlings per school=196\text{Estimated seedlings per school} = 196

    The estimated number of tree seedlings donated to each school is 196.
