Get ConnectED GLE Develop fluency in solving multi-step problems using whole numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals. GLE Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to problem solving, including estimation, and reasonableness of the solution. Estimate Products of Whole Numbers and Decimals Previously, you used rounding and compatible numbers to estimate products with whole numbers. You can use the same methods to estimate products of whole numbers and decimals. Use Rounding GASOLINE Mrs. James buys about 15.8 gallons of gas each week for her car. About how many gallons of gas does she buy in 5 weeks? Estimate the product of 15.8 and Round 15.8 to 16 because 15.8 is closer to 16 than = 80 Multiply. So, is about 80. Mrs. James buys about 80 gallons of gas in 5 weeks. SHOPPING A gel pen at a craft store costs $1.49. Lucinda wants to buy three gel pens, each in a different color. She has $6 to spend.

5 Use Compatible Numbers Compatible numbers are numbers that are close to the actual numbers and easy to multiply Estimate the product of 19 and and 10 are compatible numbers = 200 So, is about 200. Use Compatible Numbers MEASUREMENT A worker loads 16 packages onto a truck. Each package weighs 58.5 pounds. About how many pounds are loaded onto the truck? Judge the reasonableness of your answer Estimate the product of 58.5 and and 20 are compatible numbers. So, is about 1,200. The truck is holding about 1,200 pounds. Since both numbers were rounded up, the estimate is higher than the actual product. Estimate each product. See Examples $ $ A group of five friends is going to see a movie.

Understand What facts do you know? Marvin receives a discount on his purchased items. We know the cost of the boots. Plan What do you need to find? We need to find the amount Marvin will pay for the boots and the amount of the discount. One way to solve the problem is by looking for a pattern. Then, extend the pattern to find the amount paid. Solve Use your plan to solve the problem. If you multiply the cost of the item by 0.1, you can find the discount.

Each group will need two number cubes, paper, and pencil. The player with the most correct estimates is the winner for that round. Roll the cubes to continue play as time permits. Go! Roll both number cubes. The sum of the cubes will be the quotient. Each player will have 5 minutes to write down as many division equations as possible with an estimate that equals the sum of the numbers rolled on the number cubes.

43 The Sun is amazing. It is a star that is 4.5 billion years old. At its center, the temperature is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. That s about 67,000 times hotter than an oven! The Sun is not only incredibly hot, but also very large. If it was hollow, 1,000,000 Earths could fit inside of it. Because the Sun is so big, it has a lot of gravity. This gravity pulls on the 8 planets and keeps them in orbit. Planet 280 Average Distance from Sun (miles) Each planet s orbit is a different shape. Orbital eccentricity describes the shape of a planet s orbit. Scientists use decimals to measure orbital eccentricity. If a planet s orbit is perfectly circular, its orbital eccentricity is 0.0. The more ovalshaped the planet s orbit, the closer the decimal is to 1.0. Because each orbit is different, the planets are not always the same distance from the sun. Scientists describe these distances from the sun as averages.
