He said, I just walked inches to the store. And that was just one way! His friend said, That s not very far. It s only yards. 9. Write the number that has 6 in the ones place, 4 in the thousands place, 7 in the ten-thousands place, 2 in the tenths place, and 5 in all of the remaining places.,. Solve the following problems using a paper-and-pencil algorithm. Show your work Choose one of the problems above, and explain why making a magnitude estimate of the answer before solving the problem is helpful. 160 Assessment Handbook

Sample answer: A magnitude estimate is a rough estimate that helps to determine if the answer is in the ones, tens, hundreds, etc. The estimate can then be used to determine whether your answer seems reasonable. 160 Assessment Handbook
