Which answer is the most accurate estimate for how many more pounds of almonds she buys than pounds of pecans?


A. 0 pounds

B. 12 pound

C. 1 pound

Answer 1

B. 12 pounds

Explanation:

All of them are off but if I had to choose an answer between those three I would choose B.

If you round 1112 to 1000 and 56 to 60, and do 1000 divided by 60 you get 16.6

Out of all the answers 12 pounds is closest to 16.

This is how I would answer it. Hope this helps!
