Answer 1

To estimate the total number of plates in the racks, you can multiply the number of racks by the number of plates per rack.

You have:

• 19 racks
• 37 plates per rack

You can estimate this calculation by rounding the numbers:

• 19 is close to 20
• 37 is close to 40

Now multiply the rounded numbers:

20 racks × 40 plates = 800 plates

So, the correct estimate of how many plates are on the racks is 800.
