Volunteers planted 187 carrot seeds and 346 lettuce seeds.About how many seeds did they plant altogether?  \nEstimate:   Show rounding:   +   =    \n3. The garden filled 725 small bags of herbs and 398 small bags of peppers.About how many bags were filled that day?  \nEstimate:   Show rounding:   +   =    \n4. A gardener packs 36 boxes. Each box holds 24 tomatoes.  \nAbout how many tomatoes are packed?  \nEstimate:   Show rounding:   ×   =    \n5. The garden earned $3,784 at the farmer’s market on Friday and $2,216 on Saturday.About how much money did they earn on those two days?  \nEstimate:   Show rounding:   +   =    \n1  \nMashup Math LLC | All Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at www.mashupmath.com  \n6.

Each carton holds 9strawberries.  \nAbout how many cartons will they need?  \nEstimate:   Show rounding:   ÷   =    \n8. The garden harvested 294 cucumbers. They donate 118 cucumbers to a food pantry.About how many cucumbers are left?  \nEstimate:   Show rounding:   −   =    \nChallenge Problem (Show your thinking)  \n9. The garden picked 2,487 apples. They pack them into bags that hold about 23 appleseach.  \na) About how many bags will they need?  \nEstimate:   Show rounding:   ÷   =    \nb) Is your estimate more likely to be a little too high or too low?
