Approximation Applications
Introduction

Approximation applications help us use estimates to solve real-world problems involving very large or very small numbers. Instead of working with exact values, we round numbe...

In a science book, John reads that the average distance from Earth to Jupiter is about 484,000,000 miles.

He also sees that the average distance from Earth to Saturn is about 1.8 times this distance. John wants to estimate the distance from Earth to Saturn.

To estimate this distance, he first approximates the distance from Earth to J...
