Question

A teacher bought 5 boxes of markers. Each box contained 28 markers. Estimate how many markers she bought by rounding the number of markers in a box to the nearest ten.

Answer 1

Answer:

140 markers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question;

• The teacher bought 5 boxes of markers
• Markers in 1 box = 28 markers

We are required to determine the total number of markers she bought

• Number of markers = Number of boxes × number of markers per box

Therefore;

Number of markers bought = 5 boxes × 28 markers/box

                                              = 140 markers

Thus, the teacher bought 140 markers

Answer 2

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is actually 150 because you first round 28 to 30, then you do 30x5=150

Hope this helps.
