estimating solutions to multistep word problems - item 35615
carl and his friends went apple picking.
they picked a total of 824 apples from 4 trees.
next week, they plan to pick apples from 3 more trees.
use the drop-down menus to complete the statements.
there were about apples per tree.
they will pick about apples from the additional trees.

Explanation:

Step1: Estimate apples per tree

To find the approximate number of apples per tree, we divide the total number of apples (824) by the number of trees (4). We can round 824 to 800 for estimation. So, $800 \div 4 = 200$. (Or using 824, $824 \div 4 = 206$, which is approximately 200 or 205, but 200 is a common estimate here.)

Step2: Estimate apples from additional trees

Now, using the approximate number of apples per tree (let's use 200 for simplicity), we multiply by the number of additional trees (3). So, $200 \times 3 = 600$. (If we used 206, $206 \times 3 = 618$, approximately 600 or 620, but 600 is a common estimate.)

Answer:

There were about $\boldsymbol{200}$ (or 205/206, but 200 is a typical estimate) apples per tree.
They will pick about $\boldsymbol{600}$ (or 618/620, but 600 is a typical estimate) apples from the additional trees.

(Note: If more precise estimation is needed, using 824 ÷ 4 = 206, then 206 × 3 = 618. So the answers could also be 206 and 618, depending on the level of approximation.)
