Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>Yes, she has enough water.</u>

Explanation:

To <em>estimate</em> the value, you can work with friendly numbers: numbers closed to the given numbers and with which you can perform easy mental calculations.

For example 4.55 may be rouned to 5, 4.85 may be rounded to 5, and 3.25 may be rounded to 3. That yields 5 + 5 + 3 = 13

Then, it seems you have about 13 liters. Is the final number equal or greater than 12 for sure?

To round 4.55 to 5 you increased the amount in 0.45, to round 4.85 to 5 you increased the amount by 0.15, and to round 3.25 to 3 you decreased the amount in 0.25.

What was the net change in your values: 0.45 + 0.15 - 0.25 = 0.60 - 0.25 = 0.35. Those are easy calculations that you can perform in your mind.

That means that you increased your total in less than 1 liter. Meaning that the final total is overestimated by 0.35, and that if you used the real amounts to make the calculations, the total will be still more than 12.

Answer:

a) 1.8 cm^2

b) 3.6 feet^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion and calculation of areas

The area of a rectangle is A=wh, where w is the width and h is the height. There are 3 feet in one yard

a)

We are told Kalie put 6 stickers, each one of 1/2 centimeters (0.5 cm) wide by 3/5 (0.6 cm) centimeter long. The area of one sticker is

A=(0.5)(0.6)=0.3 cm^2

Assuming there is no overlapping, the 6 stickers have a total area

6*0.3 cm^2=1.8 cm^2

b)

Each of Elana's wrapping papers measures 2/5 yards long and 1/4 yard wide. Converting them to feet we have

long=2/5*3=1.2 feet

wide=1/4*3=0.75 feet

Area of each paper=1.2 feet*0.75 feet=0.9 feet^2

Area of the entire board, assuming no overlapping and no space left uncovered=4*0.9 feet^2

Area of board=3.6 feet^2
