Question 1 of 48

A teacher asked four students to write a multiplication expression to estimate 1, 592 + 8 and received the responses shown. Which student wrote the estimate that is closest to the actual value"?

A. Isabella Correct
B. Jayden
C. Michael
D. Sarah

Rationale: Isabella's estimate of 1,600 + 8 effectively rounds 1,592 to the nearest hundred, providing a quick and accurate approximation of the total, which is 1,608.

Jayden's estimate of 1,500 + 8 is too low, as it underestimates the first number significantly.

Michael's estimate of 1,600 + 10 overestimates the sum by rounding up both numbers, leading to an inaccurate total of 1,610.

Sarah's estimate of 1,600 + 5 is also higher than necessary, resulting in an estimate of 1,605, which is still not as close as Isabella's.
