Answer:

an estimate is sufficient

Explanation:

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. It is unlikely that a package of flour will have the exact amount needed, so this estimate is probably sufficient to determine what to buy.
