Question

Hakeem has an order for 4180 blocks to pack, but he has run out of crates to pack the thousands.How can Hakeem pack the blocks?

Answer 1

he could pack them by the 100 or 500

Answer 2

Hakeem can pack the blocks in hundreds or two-hundreds crates.

Explanation:

We have been given that Hakeem has an order for 4180 blocks to pack, but he has run out of crates to pack the thousands.

Let us round our given number to nearest hundred.

Since the tens digit is 8, which is greater than 5, so we will round up our answer as:

`4180\approx 4200`

Divide by 100:

`(4200)/(100)=42`

`(4200)/(200)=21`

Therefore, Hakeem can pack the blocks in hundreds or two-hundreds crates.
