<span>Quincy says that 3 is a good estimate for 3.4 X 0.09, is she correct? Why?
When we say estimates meaning it is not the exact answer but close to what is the exact.
Now, if Quincy estimated 3 as the product of 3.4 * .09, then let’s check if she has the correct estimates.
=> 3.4 estimates is 3
=> 0.09 estimates is 0.1
Now the answer is 0.3 and not 3.
Thus, Quincy’s estimate is wrong.</span>

Bruce has a bottle that contains 60% of lemon juice and the rest water. The bottle has 1 liter of water. PART A: Write an equati

Lelechka [254]

Part A:
there is 60% of lemon juice in a 1 liter of water
so 60% *OF* the 1 liter
( of technically means * in mathematics)
so
60% * 1 liter
or 0.6 * 1 liter
Now to find the total number of liters of lemon juice and water in the bottle
(0.6*1)+x= 1
(x being the amount of water)

Part B: We can calculate the number of liters of lemon juice that are present in the bottle
60% * 1
0.6 * 1
that is 0.6
So there is 0.6 liters of lemon juice in the bottle

Hope this helps :)
