Question

During a food drive, a local middle school collected 8,872 canned food items. Each of the 33 classrooms that participated in the drive donated about the same number of items. Estimate the number of items each classroom donated.

Each class donated about_________ cans

Answer 1

Answer: 321

Your explanation

There where 28 classrooms that donated. If we are to estimate the total, then we must round the canned items. They're 8982 canned items. If you round that number, you get 9000. So you want to divide 9000 and 28.
