Question

The 2011 super bowl had an attendance of 103,219 people. If the headline in the newspaper the next day read, about 200,000 people attend super bowl, is the newspapers estimate reasonable? Use rounding to explain your answer

Answer 1

The answer is not reasonable because even though the actual attendance for the super bowl was well over 100,000, it did not even make it to 150,000 which would make the 1 in the hundred thousands place round up to 2.
