Last summer, Jesse’s family drove to visit his grandmother. Jesse kept track of how far they drove each day.Monday: 242 mi.Tuesday: 324 mi.Wednesday: 212 mi.Thursday: 363 mi.Friday: 132 mi.Use front-end estimation to find a reasonable estimate of the total distance Jesse’s family traveled. A. 1000 mi. B. 1100 mi. C. 1200 mi. D. 1300 mi.

Front-end estimation is a particular way to estimate an answer to a problem by using only the "front" digits (the digits with the highest place value) of the numbers involved.

Here's how you can use front-end estimation to estimate the total distance Jesse's family traveled:

1. Monday: 242 mi. - The front-end digit is 2 (in the hundreds place), so we estimate this as 200 mi.
2. Tuesday: 324 mi. - The front-end digit is 3 (in the hundreds place), so we estimate this as 300 mi.
3. Wednesday: 212 mi. - The front-end digit is 2 (in the hundreds place), so we estimate this as 200 mi.
4. Thursday: 363 mi. - The front-end digit is 3 (in the hundreds place), so we estimate this as 300 mi.
5. Friday: 132 mi. - The front-end digit is 1 (in the hundreds place), so we estimate this as 100 mi.

Now, add up all these estimates: 200 mi + 300 mi + 200 mi + 300 mi + 100 mi = 1100 mi.

So, a reasonable estimate of the total distance Jesse's family traveled is 1100 miles. Therefore, the answer is B. 1100 mi.
