Abby counts 12 large boxes and 18 small boxes of pencils in the supply cabinet. Each large box contains 144 pencils. Each small

box contains 24 pencils.Estimate the total numbers of pencils. Is your estimate an overestimate or n underestimate? Explain why it might be better to have an underestimate rather than an overestimate.

The total number of pencils is 2,160. When estimating to the nearest hundredth one gets 2,200, which is an underestimate. 

The advantage of underestimating is that your answer is more accurate than an overestimate.

Which one is bigger 30% or 4 /15<br>???
Nikolay [14]
I believe 30% is bigger than \frac{4}{15}.

To find the answer, you'd have to convert both the fraction and the percent into decimal form to see which one is truly bigger. Converting the percent is fairly easy. 30% would become 0.30 is decimal form. To find the fraction in decimal form, you'd have to divide the numerator by the denominator, which would be 4 ÷ 15, which makes : 2.6666666666666666666666667. 

Now you compare easily. Which one is bigger? 2.666666666666666666666667 or 0.30? 

0.30 is bigger. So 30% is bigger out of both of them.
