Question

Steven and Julio each have 13 marbles. Megan has twice the number of marbles as Steven and Julio combined. Steven thinks that means that Megan has 26 marbles. What is an estimate of the number of marbles that Megan has? Is 26 a reasonable total? 13; 26 is a reasonable total 50; 26 is not a reasonable total 169; 26 is a reasonable total 338; 26 is not a reasonable total

Answer 1

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Steven = 13 marbles

Julio = 13 marbles

Megan has twice the number of marbles as Steven and Julio combined

Megan = 2 (13 + 13) = 2(26) = 52 marbles

Among the options (26, 13, 50, 169, 338), the only reasonable estimate is 50
