Estimate

Estimation is made by stating the quantity based on a reference set and using “approximate”, “less than” and “more than”.

Container 1

Container 2

Container 3

\(1\,500\space\ell\)

The amount of water in container 2 is more or less half the amount of water in container 3.

Conclusion:

The amount of water in container 1 is less than \(1\,500\space\ell\).
The amount of water in container 3 is more than \(1\,500\space\ell\).
