Keirra wants to buy 12 bagels. She uses partial products to find her total. She says $ 16.80 is close to my estimate of 12 x 1=12, so this total is reasonable. Do you agree with her? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

$11.40, is the actual price, so no

Explanation:

If a bagel is $0.95 cents, then multiply that by 12, that would be $11.40, so no, her total is not reasonable, even if you round $0.95 to a dollar, 12x1 would be 12, so you can't estimate that to $16.80
