(1 point)
Responses
180 × 30 = 5,400
180 × 30 = 5,400
180 × 40 = 7,200
180 × 40 = 7,200
190 × 40 = 7,600
190 × 40 = 7,600
200 × 40 = 8,000
200 × 40 = 8,000

### Question 1:
To find the best estimate of the total number of books, we can round the numbers in a way that makes multiplication easier.
The given numbers:
- 182 (boxes) can be rounded to 180.
- 32 (books per box) can be rounded to 30.
So, the best estimate equation would be:
\[ 180 \times 30 \]
Thus, the correct response is:
- **180 × 30 = 5,400**
### Question 2:
The calculation, \( 180 \times 30 \), provides an estimate for the actual total, which is \( 182 \times 32 \). The actual total is \( 5,824 \) (because \( 182 \times 32 = 5,824 \)). The estimate \( 5,400 \) is less than the actual total, making it an underestimation.
Therefore, the best estimate in the above question is:
- **underestimate**
### Question 3:
The sentence should read:
180 **is close to** 182,
and
30 **is close to** 32,
so
180 x 30 **is a good estimate for** 182 x 32.
If we summarize correctly:
- **180** is in the response area for **182**.
- **30** is in the response area for **32**.
- **180 x 30** is in the response area for **182 x 32**.
