Answer:

Explanation:

The answer is actually 150 because you first round 28 to 30, then you do 30x5=150

Answer:

140 markers

Explanation:

From the question;

  • The teacher bought 5 boxes of markers
  • Markers in 1 box = 28 markers

We are required to determine the total number of markers she bought

  • Number of markers = Number of boxes × number of markers per box

Therefore;

Number of markers bought = 5 boxes × 28 markers/box

= 140 markers

Thus, the teacher bought 140 markers
