It depends on the person to think if estimation is helpful. If you get a math equation like: 24 + 34 + 12 = ? And the question asked you to estimate than you can do: 20 + 30 +10 = 60 and the you know that your answer is close to 60.
Estimation can also be used when you need to guess ~ For example:
How many jelly beans are in this group? You can estimate the correct answer without counting them. Let's say there are 80 jelly beans and you guest 75. That is estimating because you would take the time to think and you would OBVIOUSLY not guess 10.
