Step-by-step explanation:

Number of balls in box A = 54

Number of balls in box B = 79

To estimate:

The total number of boxes in both A and B.

Solution:

Actual number of balls in box A = 54

Round 54 to the nearest tens.

Estimate number of balls in box A = 50

Actual number of balls in box B = 79

Round 79 to the nearest tens.

Estimate number of balls in box B = 80

Total number of estimate balls = 50 + 80
