Nathan is building a treehouse. He needs wooden boards that are 16.45 feet 7.3 feet and 12.8 feet in length what is the closest estimate of the total length he needs feet to make sure he has enough wood for the tree

Answer 1

To estimate the total length of the wooden boards Nathan needs, we can round each of the lengths to the nearest whole number and then add them together.

• 16.45 feet can be rounded to 16 feet.
• 7.3 feet can be rounded to 7 feet.
• 12.8 feet can be rounded to 13 feet.

Now we can add these rounded values:

16 + 7 + 13 = 36 feet

Therefore, the closest estimate of the total length of wood Nathan needs is 36 feet.
