Question

You have 8 and 1/3 grams of sugar and want to divide it into containers of 2 and 1/4 grams each. By rounding to nearest whole number, estimate how many containers you can fill. *

A .3 and 1/6
B.4
C.2/25
D.3

Answer 1

One container is 2 1/4 g, two containers is 4 1/2 g, three containers is 6 3/4 g, four containers is 9 g. Since 8 1/3 is between 6 3/4 and 9, we can fill 3 containers.
