To estimate the total number of oranges the store ordered, you can multiply the number of crates by the number of oranges per crate:
37 crates × 63 oranges/crate.
For estimation, you can round the numbers:
- Round 37 to 40 (because it's close to 40).
- Round 63 to 60 (because it's close to 60).
Now, multiply the rounded numbers:
40 × 60 = 2400.
Therefore, the best estimate of the total number of oranges the store ordered is 2,400.
