Sam confirmed there will be 192 guests at his party. He thinks each guest will eat

about .25 lb of hamburger, so he decides to order .25 x 200 = 50 lb
What did he use to determine the amount to order?

Answer:

Sam used estimation. He rounded the amount of guests (192) to the nearest hundred (200).
