Jamie practiced his spanish skills for about 11 hours every week for 8 weeks About how many hours did he practice in all? How can you check your work? Is the estimation reasonable?
He practiced for about 80 hours in total. I found this by rounding to the nearest 10s place and then multiplied by 8 to get my estimation of 80. I can check my estimation by multiplying 8 by 11 which equals 88. My answer is reasonable because 80 is close to 88.

There are 5 animals on a far. Each animal eats 105 pounds of food per week. How much food does the farmer have to buy each week? Draw a model to help solve and explain your reasoning? How do you know if your answer is reasonable?
105 X 5 = 525. I found this answer by using the break apart method to find my partial products then I added my partial products to find my product. My answer is reasonable because when I round 105 to 110 and then multiple, I get the product of 550 which is close to 525. *You can also round down to 100 *Mr. Howard will check models
