Nhia found a discount store that sells bags of 24 marbles. Round each amount to the nearest ten to find a reasonable estimate for the number of bags of marbles Nhia will have to buy to be sure to have enough marbles.

A. 18 B. 25 C. 32 D. 39

Answer 1

Answer: Option B -25 bags.

consider - Round each amount to the nearest ten to find a reasonable estimate for the number of bags of marbles

We have been given that

No. of kids =47

After rounded its nearest ten then

No. of kids =50

Same as no. of marbles in a bag = 24

After rounded its nearest ten = 20

No. of each player have marbles = 10

So, using the given information and calculating we have:

Total No. of marbles = 50× 10 = 500 marbles

We know that the total number of marbles needed is 500 marbles, so, calculating how many bags will Nhia have to buy, we have:

No. of bags = (Total no. of marbles / marbles per bag)

No. of bags = 500/20

No. of bags =25

Hence, Nhia will have to buy 25 bags of marbles.

Answer 2

I think it's B.25 because
If you round 47 it will be 50.Then you multiple 50 and 10 which you get 500.After you need to round 24 which is 20.When you do that you divide 500 and 20 which you get 25.
