Answer 1

To create two different estimates for the total number of ounces of pasta ordered, we can round the numbers involved and use compatible numbers for calculation.

Here’s how to set it up:

1. **First estimate using rounding:**
- Round 42 to 40.
- The equation would be:
**40 × 24**

2. **Second estimate using compatible numbers:**
- Use 40 as a compatible number for 42 and round 24 to 20 (to make calculations easier).
- The equation would be:
**40 × 20**

So, fill the response areas like this:

1. **Rounding:**
- 40 × **24**

2. **Using compatible numbers:**
- 40 × **20**

This will provide two different estimates for the total ounces of pasta ordered.
