A county has a goal to build 12,000 bus stop shelters in 48 months . If the county builds 215 bus shelters each month , will it reach its goal ? Explain one way to estimate the answer.

Answer 1

No

Explanation:because if you do the math if you do 215 x 48 in doesn't reach to 12000 at all.

Answer 2

No, it will not reach its goal.

Explanation:

The main reason why it will not meet its goal is because if you do the math, 215 x 48 does not equal 12000, it equals 10320 which is just 1680 shelters low. Therefore, they will not meet their goal.
