Mrs. Beck buys 48 pieces of house siding. Each piece is 3.7 meters long. Which equation represents the best estimate for the total length of siding Mrs. Beck buys? A. 40 × 3 = 120 meters B. 40 × 4 = 160 meters C. 50 × 4 = 200 meters D. 50 × 5 = 250 meters

C. 50 × 4 = 200 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Best Estimate involves rounding up the numbers

Mrs. Beck buys 48 pieces of house siding.

Rounding up to the nearest whole number

= 50 pieces

Each piece is 3.7 meters long.

Rounding up to the nearest whole number

= 4.0 meters long

Hence,

50 pieces × 4 meters = 200 meters

Option C is correct
