a sports store ordered 22 boxes of golf balls. each box has 47 golf balls. which is the best estimate of the total number of golf balls the store ordered?

Answer 1

To estimate the total number of golf balls, you can round the numbers to make the calculations easier.

You have:

• 22 boxes of golf balls
• Each box contains 47 golf balls

You can estimate:

• Round 22 to 20 (a simpler number)
• Round 47 to 50 (a simpler round number)

Now, multiply the estimated numbers: \[ 20 \text{ boxes} \times 50 \text{ golf balls/box} = 1000 \text{ golf balls} \]

So, the best estimate of the total number of golf balls the store ordered is approximately 1000.
