M. smith has 198 oranges. He packs them into 5 crates. Use rounding to estimate the number of oranges in each crate.

Answer 1

To estimate the number of oranges in each crate, we can round the total number of oranges (198) to the nearest ten.

198 rounded to the nearest ten is 200.

Now, we can divide the rounded number of oranges by the number of crates:

200 oranges ÷ 5 crates = 40 oranges per crate.

Therefore, the estimated number of oranges in each crate is about 40.
