What does approximation mean?

Answer 1

it means nearly, for example: its approximately 6 amdefinition: is nearly 6 am

not exactly something is what it means.....

Answer 2

Approximating is the action of making an approximation (or an approximate estimate). An approximation is a well-educated numerical value of something that has not been measured to its highest level of accuracy.

For example: A stadium has 20,000 seats. If the stands looked full from the arena floor and you say that there are 20,000 fans present, you are APPROXIMATING because;

1) You don't know that all 100% of the seats are actually filled

2) You are estimating based on observation

3) Not everyone may be a fan

4) You didn't account for yourself, the staff, etc.

Answer 3

It means that your answer has to be times by ten, for example if i had:

6 x 3 = 18

an approximate would be :

6 x 3 = 18 but 18 x 10

18 x 10 = 180

Answer 4

It means to approximate something, and to get an answer that is pretty close to the real answer. So it is kind of like an estimation.
