A cleaning service orders 7 large bottles and 5 small bottles of a cleaning product. Each large bottle has 122 ounces. Each small bottle has 68 ounces. Which is the best estimate of the total amount of cleaning product the cleaning service orders?

Question

800 ounces
1,200 ounces
1,600 ounces
2,000 ounces

Answer 1

To find the total amount of cleaning product ordered, we can calculate the total ounces from both large and small bottles.

1. Calculate the total ounces from large bottles: \[ 7 \text{ large bottles} \times 122 \text{ ounces/bottle} = 854 \text{ ounces} \]

2. Calculate the total ounces from small bottles: \[ 5 \text{ small bottles} \times 68 \text{ ounces/bottle} = 340 \text{ ounces} \]

3. Add the total ounces from large and small bottles: \[ 854 \text{ ounces} + 340 \text{ ounces} = 1194 \text{ ounces} \]

Now, we can estimate the total amount of cleaning product. The closest estimate here is:

• 1,200 ounces

Thus, the best estimate of the total amount of cleaning product the cleaning service orders is 1,200 ounces.
