Josh buys cucumbers that cost 0.62 per pound. he pays 2.79 for the cucumbers. josh estimates he bought 5 pounds of cucumbers. is josh's estimate resonable? explain.

It is reasonable because if you round 0.62 to the nearest tenth you get 0.6, and if you round 2.79 to the nearest whole you get three. If you divide 3 by 0.6, you get five.

Now, if you were to do the actual problem, you would get 4.5 pounds. 4.5 when rounded is equal to 5 therefore his estimate is reasonable.

Hope this helps c:
