Jackie drinks a bottle of water and a bottle of orange juice every morning. The bottle of water has 16.9 ounces, and 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 provides a good explanation for that estimate?

A. About 210 ounces; She drinks about [tex]17 + 15 = 32[/tex] ounces each morning. There are 7 days in a week. [tex]32 \times 7 = 224[/tex].

B. About 280 ounces; She drinks about [tex]20 + 20 = 40[/tex] ounces each morning. There are 7 days in a week. [tex]40 \times 7 = 280[/tex].

C. About 330 ounces; She drinks about [tex]17 + 16 = 33[/tex] ounces each morning.

Sure! Let's work through the solution step by step.

Jackie drinks a bottle of water and a bottle of orange juice every morning. Here's the breakdown:

1. The bottle of water has 16.9 ounces.
2. The bottle of orange juice has 15.2 ounces.

First, we find out how much Jackie drinks each morning:

- Add the ounces from both bottles:
[tex]\[
16.9 + 15.2 = 32.1 \text{ ounces}
\][/tex]

So, Jackie drinks approximately 32.1 ounces each morning.

Next, calculate the total amount she drinks in a week:

- There are 7 days in a week, so we multiply the daily intake by the number of days:
[tex]\[
32.1 \times 7 = 224.7 \text{ ounces}
\][/tex]

Rounding and Estimation:

- When estimating, you want a simple, close approximation. In this case, estimating around 210 ounces is closest to 224.7 ounces, considering rounding and approximation logic fits option A the best.

So, the best estimate for the total amount Jackie drinks in an entire week is 210 ounces. Option A provides the closest estimation by saying she drinks a total of approximately 210 ounces about each week.
