For which situation is the use of approximate numbers most appropriate? A) preparing your yearly taxes B) ordering programs for a high school musical C) paying a cashier for a meal at a fast food restaurant D) the maximum number of basketball players allowed on the court at a time Eli
Each of the other answer choices requires an exact number because there are laws regarding paying yearly taxes based on exact income, a cashier will only sell you a meal for exactly the amount that they want to charge, and the maximum number of basketball players allowed on the court is standardized through rules for playing the game. Ordering programs can be an estimate.
