Question

During the shot put event, Alayna throws the ball 32.45 feet while her teammates throw 28.34 feet, 26.59 feet, and 33.11 feet. Use an estimation strategy to determine about how many total feet were thrown by the team. Describe the estimation strategy you used to solve the problem.

Answer 1

The total feet that were thrown is 120.49 if you just add all of the feet together that's how you will get your answer.

Answer 2

Hello!

Due to it being an estimation, I will round each to 32,28,27, and 33. Adding them all up, it equals 120! 120 is my estimation.

Hope I helped you! Have a great day! :)
