Solution

The correct option is A 480
To estimate the height of the tree, we need to add the heights of all the children.
128 can be estimated as 130.
122 can be estimated as 120.
113 can be estimated as 110.
118 can be estimated as 120.
The estimaetd height of tree = 130 + 120 + 110 + 120 = 480 cm.
