Decimal Addition and Estimation Concepts

The video tutorial explains how Janelle tracks her running distance over four days using a pedometer. It covers estimating the total distance by rounding each day's mileage to the nearest mile and then calculating the exact total by adding the decimal values. The estimated total is 22 miles, while the exact total is 22.55 miles, showing the estimation was close. The tutorial demonstrates rounding rules and decimal addition, emphasizing the importance of lining up decimal points when adding.
