Question

Rhonda planted green beans on 67% of her farm. Rhonda's farm has 598 acres of land. Estimate the number of acres of green beans on Rhonda's farm.

Answer 1

Answer: 400 acres.

Explanation:

We know that 598 is very close to 600, so we can round that amount up.

We also know that 67% is very close to
`(2)/(3)` because 2÷3≈0.67 & 67%=0.67

So, we can estimate
`(2)/(3)` of 600, which is about 400.
