To estimate the total amount of ribbon Liam needs, we can round each amount to the nearest hundred for simplicity.
- For the red ribbon, 423 yards can be rounded to 400 yards.
- For the blue ribbon, 1019 yards can be rounded to 1000 yards.
Now, we can add the rounded figures:
400 yards (red) + 1000 yards (blue) = 1400 yards
Thus, a reasonable estimate for the total amount of ribbon Liam needs is **1400 yards**.
- For the red ribbon, 423 yards can be rounded to 400 yards.
- For the blue ribbon, 1019 yards can be rounded to 1000 yards.
Now, we can add the rounded figures:
400 yards (red) + 1000 yards (blue) = 1400 yards
