A gardener is estimating the amount of mulch needed for two garden beds. There is no room to store extra mulch. Is it better to estimate a greater or lesser amount than the mulch he needs? Why?
Estimations are rough calculations of an actual measurement.
The gardener should estimate a lesser amount of mulch
From the question, we understand that:
The gardener does not have extra rooms to store excess mulch.
This means that: It is better he estimates a lesser amount.
Because
He can get more, if there is a need to get extra mulch
Also, this will prevent him from running at loss, because if he estimates a greater amount, the excess mulch will get wasted as there are no extra room(s).
