Mrs. Henderson bought 4 boxes of facial tissues. Each box has 174 tissues. Which number sentence shows the best way to use rounding to estimate the total number of tissues?

A. \(4 \times 100 = 400\)

B. \(4 \times 200 = 800\)

Answer (3)

d. 4 x 200 = 800
To get the total number, you multiply the number of tissues per box by the number of boxes.
174 is closer to 200 than 100, so 200 is a better estimate, so d is correct.
Hope this helps :)

The best way to estimate the total number of tissues Mrs. Henderson bought is to round 174 tissues per box to 200. Therefore, using the number sentence 4 × 200 = 800 is the correct choice. This provides a more accurate estimate compared to rounding to 100.
