Jackie drinks a bottle of water and a bottle of orange juice every morning.
- The bottle of water has 16.9 ounces.
- The bottle of orange juice has 15.2 ounces.

Which is the best estimate for the total amount Jackie drinks in the morning for an entire week and gives a good explanation for that estimate?

A. About 210 ounces; She drinks about 17 + 15 = 32 ounces each morning. There are 7 days in a week. 32 × 7 = 224.
B. About 280 ounces; She drinks about 20 + 20 = 40 ounces each morning. There are 7 days in a week. 40 × 7 = 280.
C. About 330 ounces; She drinks about 17 + 16 = 33 ounces each morning. There are 7 days in a week. 33 × 7 = 231.
D. About 350 ounces; She drinks about 20 + 15 = 35 ounces each morning. There are 7 days in a week. 35 × 7 = 245.

Answer :

Answer:

your right 30 × 7 = 210 is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: B, about 280 ounces

16.9 + 15.2 = 32.1

32.1 * 7 = 224.7

Not A because she doesn't drink 30 oz she drinks 32.

B is the closest and is rounding both numbers up.

C is false because you don't multiply by 10, you multiply by 7 because of the 7 days in a week.

D is false for the same reason as C.
