It takes Heidi's cats about seven days to finish a 3.5-pound bag of cat food. Which is the best estimate of the number of pounds of cat food Heidi's cats eat in one year?
a. 90
b. 180
c. 360
d. 730

Respuesta :

A year has a little more than 52 weeks, so we need to multiply the amount they eat in a week by 52, let's make it 50 to make it easier:

3.5*50=35*5=150+25=175, which is about 180, so the correct answer is b. 180.
doing this problem mentally
7 days= 1week
1 year= 52 week
estimate
50 x 4= 200
closest would be 180 pounds

hope this method helps you
