Question

An employee gets paid $1035 each week. How much money will the employee get paid for working 6 weeks. Explain how estimating helps you check the reasonableness of your answer

Answer 1

first, the estimating part. by estimation, you can see, like the problem says, how reasonable your answer is. In this instance, 1035 is close to 1000, and 1000 times 6 is 6000. we should get an answer in this range, and if we don't, we know something's up.
now, to actually solve it
1035 per week* 6 weeks= 1035*6=6210.
It is in the range of 6000, so we can see its reasonable, and a double check ensures it is correct

Answer 2

Hey you! Here's your answer:

1035 = 1 week's payment.

1035 • 6 = 6,210

So, the employee will be paid $6,210 for working 6 weeks.

To estimate to check your answer, you can round 1035 to the closest hundred, which is 1000.

1000 • 6 = 6,000

So, your answer should be around 6000 (It is, which means you got it right!)
