Answer 1

To estimate the total number of muffins Josh made, we first need to round the quantities of muffins to the nearest ten.

• Josh made 13 dozen apple muffins. Since a dozen equals 12, we calculate: \( 13 \times 12 = 156 \) Rounding 156 to the nearest ten gives us 160.

• He also made 25 dozen blueberry muffins: \( 25 \times 12 = 300 \) Rounding 300 to the nearest ten gives us 300.

Now we can add these two rounded numbers together: \( 160 + 300 = 460 \)

Rounding to the nearest ten, we'll consider the answer to be approximately 460.

So, the final answer is approximately 400.
