Quote:
I estimate the time needed to complete the task at 20 minutes

Hi, everyone

Could you tell me if the sentence above is correct ?

Also, could you tell me if it is correct to say the sentence above or it is better to say the above sentence ?

Thank you and have a nice day Smile

Estimate...at or estimate...to be, and sentence above / above sentence are equally valid.
