Question

Jasper needs to buy enough flour to make 3 dozen cookies and one loaf of pumpkin bread. The cookies need 2 ⅓ cups of flour and the bread needs 1 ¾ cups of flour. Should he estimate the amount of flour to buy or should he find the exact amount? Explain.

Answer 1

✔Answer

✏An estimate is sufficient.

Assuming the given numbers represent all of the flour Jasper needs, he can estimate that he will need more than 4 cups and less than 4 1/2 cups, so this estimate is probably sufficient to determine what to buy.
