Question

Which estimation could be used to make sure the answer is reasonable?

Answer 1

Let's go through each answer.

A.

Answer: The amount left over was 4.05 L.

Estimation: 3.15 + 4.75 is about 7.

7 L – 4 L = 3 L

The amount left over was about 3 L.

This is incorrect because 3.15+4.75 is closer to 8 than 7.

B.

Answer: The amount left over was 3.95 L.

Estimation: 3.15 + 4.75 is about 8.

8 L – 4 L = 4 L

The amount left over was a little less than 4 L.

This is correct because 3.15+4.75 is close to 8 and to find the amount left over you do have to subtract.

The correct answer is B.

Answer: The amount left over was 3.95 L.

Estimation: 3.15 + 4.75 is about 8.

8 L – 4 L = 4 L

The amount left over was a little less than 4 L.
