QuestionYou have 27 jars for pickles, each holding about 12 cucumbers. Round both to the nearest ten and estimate total cucumbers.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The number of cucumbers that can fit in each jar is approximately12. . The number of jars available is27.
3. We are asked to round both numbers to the tens place before calculating.

STEP 2

First, we round the number of cucumbers that can fit in each jar to the tens place. The number12 is closer to10 than to20 when rounding to the nearest ten.
Roundedcucumbersperjar=10 Rounded\, cucumbers\, per\, jar =10

STEP 3

Next, we round the number of jars to the tens place. The number27 is closer to30 than to20 when rounding to the nearest ten.
Roundedjars=30 Rounded\, jars =30

STEP 4

Now, we can calculate the approximate number of pickles we can make by multiplying the rounded number of cucumbers per jar by the rounded number of jars.
Approximatepickles=RoundedcucumbersperjartimesRoundedjars Approximate\, pickles = Rounded\, cucumbers\, per\, jar \\times Rounded\, jars

STEP 5

Plug in the values for the rounded cucumbers per jar and the rounded jars to calculate the approximate number of pickles.
Approximatepickles=10times30 Approximate\, pickles =10 \\times30

STEP 6

Calculate the approximate number of pickles.
Approximatepickles=10times30=300 Approximate\, pickles =10 \\times30 =300 You can make approximately300 pickles.
