Question

Mrs.Henderson bought 4 boxes of facial tissues. Each box has 174 tissues. Which number sentence shows the best way to use rounding to estimate the total number of tissues.

a. 4-100-104

b. 4-200-204

c. 4×100=400

d. 4×200=800

Answer 1

The answer is D

4×200=800

Answer 2

d. 4 x 200 = 800

To get the total number, you multiply the number of tissues per box by the number of boxes.

174 is closer to 200 than 100, so 200 is a better estimate, so d is correct.

Hope this helps :)
