If each of the 3,121 members in a community drank 267 glasses of water in a year, about how many glasses of water would be consumed by that community in a year? Estimate by rounding each term to the greatest place.
3000 * 300 = ?
900,000?
I agree.
To estimate the total number of glasses of water consumed by the community in a year, we can multiply the number of members by the number of glasses each member drinks.
Step 1: Multiply the number of members by the number of glasses each member drinks.
3,121 members × 267 glasses of water = 834,207 glasses of water
Therefore, approximately 834,207 glasses of water would be consumed by the community in a year.
