Question

Tak purchased 4 7/8 pounds of brown sugar. Each pound of the sugar equals 2 1/4 cups. What is the best estimate of the number of cups Tak purchased? please help me pleaseeee

Answer 1

Turn all the numbers to decimals
  4.875*2.25=10.96875
round it to get 11 lb

Answer 2

for an estimate round the pound to 5 and multiply by 2 1/4 which would be 11 1/4 cups

 

 the actual amount would be 4 7/8 * 2 1/4 = 10 31/32 which is just below 11 so the estimate is pretty close
