Thomas received a $50 gift card for an online store, and he wants to buy LED lights to decorate his bedroom. If one strand
costs $11.86, estimate how many strands he can buy by first rounding to the nearest dollar

Respuesta :

Answer:

Thomas can buy 4 strands.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to round $11.86 to the nearest dollar, which is $12.

Now we ask ourselves, "how many times does 12 go into 50 without going over?"

12 × 4 = 48

12 can go into 50 4 times.

4 because round 11.86 to 12 and multiply 4 times you get 48.
