Answer 1

1.) 20,160 cookies, 2.) 37,600 Letters to students in a different country 3.) 252.36 Exact form, Approximate form: 252

Explanation:

The first question is written in standard form like this:

Standard Form: 315 x 64 = 20,160

Algebraically/Logical: 315 Packages x 64 Cookies = 20,160 Cookies in All

Therefore, Kenneth bought 20,160 Cookies

The second question is written like this:

Standard Form: 940 x 40 = 37,600

Algebraically/Logical Reasoning: 940 students x 40 letters = 37,600 letters written to students in a different country.

Note: This question has a random P 240, That will be erased so that is why the equation is 940 x 40

The third question is written like this:

Standard Form: 36 x 7.01 = 252.36

Approximate form: 36 x 7 = 252

Algebraically/Logical Reasoning: The standard form would explain it all but if I was answering this question I would round 7.01 to the one's place because there is no way you would get a decimal when trying to solve an even amount of cloths. So there are 36 squares in one table cloth, times that by 7 which is equal to 252 approximently.
