Answer 1

After calculating the total ounces of lemonade Ms. Red buys and rounding to the nearest 10, the closest option to the total amount is 200 ounces.The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to determine the total amount of lemonade Ms. Red buys for the school picnic, rounding to the nearest 1

. We start by calculating the total amount of lemonade from the four 28-ounce bottles:

• 4 bottles × 28 ounces per bottle = 112 ounces

Then we add the 64-ounce bottle:

• 112 ounces + 64 ounces = 176 ounces

Now, we round 176 to the nearest 10:

• 180 ounces (rounded from 176)

Therefore, the closest answer to the total amount of lemonade, using rounding to the nearest 10, is:

• 180 ounces

However, looking at the given options, the correct answer that best matches 180 ounces by rounding to the nearest option available is:

• Option (a) 200 ounces
