To estimate the total number of ounces of juice Jorge ordered, we can multiply the number of bottles by the ounces each bottle holds.

Jorge ordered 22 bottles and each holds 6.32 ounces.

To estimate:

  1. Round 6.32 ounces to 6 ounces (for easier calculation).
  2. Then multiply:

\[ 22 \text{ bottles} \times 6 \text{ ounces/bottle} = 132 \text{ ounces} \]

Looking through the options provided (160, 120, 180, 100 ounces), the closest estimate to 132 ounces would be 120 ounces.

Thus, the best estimate of the number of ounces of juice Jorge ordered is 120 ounces.
