Answer 1

To estimate the total amount of cleaning product the service orders, we can start by calculating the total ounces from the large and small bottles.

1. Calculate the total ounces from large bottles:

   • Number of large bottles = 7
   • Ounces per large bottle = 122
   • Total ounces from large bottles = 7 × 122 = 854 ounces

2. Calculate the total ounces from small bottles:

   • Number of small bottles = 5
   • Ounces per small bottle = 68
   • Total ounces from small bottles = 5 × 68 = 340 ounces

3. Total amount of cleaning product:

   • Total ounces = Total from large bottles + Total from small bottles
   • Total ounces = 854 + 340 = 1194 ounces

Now, looking at the estimated options:

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

The best estimate for the total amount, which is 1194 ounces, is closest to 1,200 ounces. Therefore, the best estimate is 1,200 ounces.
