Question

At a ware house,127 delivery trucks were loaded with 48 packages on the truck.

Estimate the total number of packages on the trucks.Write an equation to model your work.

Did you calculate a overestimate or an underestimate?Explain how you know.

Answer 1

The answer would be 6096?

127 trucks with 48 packages on each truck equals 126x48 packages which is 6096 packages.

Answer 2

Answer: n = 127 x 48 =6,096 packages

overestimate

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

n = t x pt

Where:

n= total number of packages

t = number of trucks

pt = packages in each truck

Replacing with the values given:

n = 127 x 48 =6,096

It is an overestimate since the number obtained is considering that all trucks are full.
