Question:
A student solves:

(64 − 28) ÷ 4 × 3

and gets 3.

Find the student's mistake and give the correct answer.

The student likely divided by 4 and then multiplied incorrectly. Multiplication and division are done left to right:

(64 − 28) ÷ 4 × 3
= 36 ÷ 4 × 3
= 9 × 3
= 27

Question:
A student calculates the cost of 1,248 tickets at $25 each.

They write:

1,248 × 25 = $31,200

Another student says the answer should be $3,120.

Who is correct? Explain how you can use estimation to determine whether the answer makes sense.

$31,200 is correct.

Estimate:

1,248 ≈ 1,200
25 × 1,200 = 30,000

So an answer around $30,000 makes sense. $3,120 is much too small.
