Question

An online book store has 182 boxes of books in its warehouse. Each box has 32 books.

Part A
Which equation represents the best estimate of the total number of books in the warehouse?
180 × 30 = 5,400
180 × 40 = 7,200
190 × 40 = 7,600
200 × 40 = 8,000
Part B
Is the best estimate in Part A an underestimate or an overestimate? Explain.

It is an underestimate. The rounded value for 182 is less than 182, and the rounded value for 32 is less than 32. The estimated product must be less than the exact product.

It is an overestimate. The rounded value for 182 is greater than 182, and the rounded value for 32 is greater than 32. The estimated product must be greater than the exact product.

It is an overestimate. The rounded value for 182 is greater than the rounded value for 32. The estimated product must be greater than the exact product.

It is an underestimate. The rounded value for 32 is closer to 32 than the rounded value for 182 is to 180. The estimated product must be less than the exact product.
