Answer:

Question 3:

  • About 70.

Question 4:

  • About 500.

Question 5:

  • About 200 (rounding to hundreds).

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 3:

The circular graph shows the following results of the survey about Favorite Vacation Spots:

  • 48% Hawaii
  • 13% Other
  • 15% California
  • 24% Florida

You can verify that the sum of all the parts is 100%:

  • 48% + 13% + 15% + 24% = 100%.

Then, since 48% chose Haway, 100% - 48% = 52% did not choose Haway.

Since, 140 families were surveyed, a reasonalbe estimate for the number of families that did not choose Hawaii is:

  • 140 × 52% = 140 × 0.52 ≈ 140 × 0.50 = 70.

Question 2.

1. Data:

  • 61% of middle school students do physical activity
  • There are 828 middle school students

2. Solution

Number of students that do physical activity:

  • 61% of 828
  • 61% × 828
  • Approximation: 60% × 800 = 0.60 × 800 = 480
  • Rounded to the next hundred: 500
  • Answer: about 500.

Question 3.

1. Data:

  • 423 students
  • 57.6% live within 5 miles of school

2. Solution:

Reasonalbe estimate:

  • 57.6% of 423 = 0.576 × 423
  • Estimation: 0.60 × 400 = 240
  • Round to hundred: 200.
