What do you estimate 244 to?

Answer 1

The front end estimate is 200. But estimating a single number, in isolation and without context, is a complete waste of time. It all comes down to the context of what needs to be done with the number.

If I had to add 244 to 1 trillion, I would estimate it as 0.
If I had to add 244 to 0.0000000001, I would use the number as given, or possibly 240. If I had to divide it by 4, I would estimate it as 240, because 240/4 = 60. If I had to divide it by 5, I would estimate it as 250, because 250/5 = 50.

Answer 2

To the nearest ten, 240
