Answer:

Hello!

After reviewing the question you have provided, I came up with the correct answer:

C) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly:

As the question states, you need to round each number to the nearest whole number and then choose the closest estimate to what the nearest solution could be.

When you round the two numbers you should come up with "3-1= ____".

This is because you round up with a number has .5 or higher, and you round down when any number has .4 or lower.

So 3.2 rounds to 3

And 1.4 rounds to 1.

With the new equation you can then solve "3-1= 2"!

Hope this helps!
