Answer:
800 coins.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that John has 2,456 pennies on his coin collection he has the same number of pennies in 3 boxes. We are asked to estimate the nearest hundred the number of pennies in each box.
First of all, we will divide 2,456 by 3 to find number of pennies in each box.
\(\text{Pennies in each box}=\frac{2,456}{3}\)
\(\text{Pennies in each box}=818.66667\)
Upon rounding our answer to nearest hundred, we will get:
\(\text{Pennies in each box}\approx 800\)
We will get 800 as the tens value is less than 5.
Therefore, there are approximately 800 coins in each box.
