Ceddy bears. Use compatible numbers to estimate
he total number of teddy bears in the shipment.
12 bears per case​

Answer 1

The total number of teddy bears in the shipment is 200.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of cases received is 17 and number of teddy bears per case is 12.

Now, to get the total number of teddy bears (T) in the shipment we multiply the number of cases (c) received from number of bears (b) in per case.

So,

`T=b* c`

`T=12* 17`

`T=204`

(T) Total number of teddy bears = 204 bears.

By estimating the numbers we get = 200 bears.

Therefore, the total number of teddy bears in the shipment is 200.
