Emre is building a spice rack with 4 shelves that are each 0.55 meter long. At the hardware store, Emre sees that he can only buy shelving in whole meter lengths and not decimals. How many meters of shelving does Emre need to buy so that he has enough? Explain your answer. 

He will need to buy 3 meter long of shelving. 

0.55x4 is 2.20, but Emre can't buy shelving in decimal lengths. So he'll need to buy 3 meter long.

The poetry club had it's first bake sale, and they made $79.35. The club members are planning to have 4 more bake sales. Billy said, "If we make the same amount at each bake sale, we'll earn $3,967.50." Iris said, "No way, Billy! We'll earn $396.75 after five bake sales."

Use estimation to help Iris explain why Billy's reasoning is incorrect. 

$79.35 can be rounded or estimated to be $80. 

$80x5 is $400.

$396.75 is much closer to $400 than to $3,967.50, so Billy's reasoning is incorrect.
