Answer 1

Solution.

Given that Liz attended class every day since she started school as a kindergarten and that she said she has been in school for about 1000 days (by rounding up the actual number of days to the nearest ten)

The actual number is a number that when rounded up, we would arrive at 1000.

This number falls between the numbers 995 and 1004.

Answer: Any of the numbers below could be the actual number:

995, 996, 997, 998, 999, 1000, 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004
