Answer:
C) 40
Explanation:
Since we're dealing with estimations here, we don't need to make the correct answer, only one close enough. We estimate when we just want to briefly orient about a value. We are not interested in a precise answer, just roughly approximated.
In this case, Ashley gathered 124 pounds of apples and she needs only 3 for her apple sauce.
If we wanted to be precise we would calculate 124/3 to find the number of times she could make her sauce and that would be 41.33.
Since we're only estimating, we would roughly divide, in our heads, these two numbers, finding that answer should be around 40 (120/3 is 40, here we have 124/3 so the answer should be somewhere just above 40).
