Question

On an average day, 38 customers buy a bag of grapes at Jerry's Market. There are an average of 47 grapes in each bag. Round to the nearest ten and then multiply to estimate the number of grapes Jerry's customers buy every day.

Answer 1

round 38 to 40. round 47 to 50. then multiply the numbers together: 40 x 50 = 2000
your answer is 2000 i think,

Answer 2

40 x 50 = 2,000

Explanation:

When we round a number, first identify the digit to round. Then proceed with the following two rules:

(a) If the number to the right of the digit to round is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 (that is, less than 5), then keep the digit to round and change the rest of the digits to the right of the digit to round to zero.

(b) If the number to the right of the digit to be rounded is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 (that is, greater than or equal to 5), then add one to the digit to round and change the rest of the digits to the right of the digit to round to zero.

In our case, we apply the two rules, rounding to the nearest ten, as follows:

For 38 = 40

Apply rule (b) since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, then add 1 to 3 to get 4, then change 8 to zero. The result is 40.

For 47 = 50

Apply rule (b) since 7 is greater than or equal to 5, then add 1 to 4 to get 5, then change 7 to zero. The result is 50.

Now, multiply to estimate the amount of grapes that Jerry customers buy every day.

40 x 50 = 2,000

Hope this helps!
