Yes. Many times we make estimates without math. First, the definition of the verb "to estimate" does not require mathematics (see definition from www.dictionary.com) 1. to form an approximate judgment or opinion regarding the worth, amount, size, weight, etc., of; calculate approximately: to estimate the cost of a college education. 2. to form an opinion of; judge Usually, we make estimates that involve numbers, but no math is required. So I can estimate how much sugar to put in cup. I can estimate what time it is by looking at the sun. I can guess someone's weight or height, even though I haven't actually measured it. An estimate can be an opinion that has some rational basis. I can look at a painting and estimate what it might sell for, basd on my experience.
