3. Solve the following problems using pictures, numbers, or words.
a. In the 2011 New York Marathon, 29,867 men finished the race and 16,928 women finished the race. Each finisher was given a t-shirt. About how many men’s shirts were given away? About how many women’s shirts were given away? Explain how you found your answers.
b. In the 2010 New York City Marathon, 42,429 people finished the race and received a medal. Before the race, the medals had to be ordered. If you were the person in charge of ordering the medals and estimated how many to order by rounding, would you have ordered enough medals? Explain your thinking.
c. In 2010, 28,357 of the finishers were men and 14,072 of the finishers were women. About how many more men finished the race than women? To determine your answer, did you round to the nearest ten thousand or thousand? Explain.
To check if your answers are correct, here is the answer key:
1. a. 845,000
b. 850,000
c. 800,000
2. a. 800
b. 12,800
c. 951,200
d. 1,000
e. 65,000
f. 99,000
g. 60,000
h. 80,000
i. 900,000
j. 900,000
k. 500,000
l. 700,000
3. a. Men:
30,000
29,500
29,000
29,867 ≈ 30,000
Women:
17,000
16,500
16,000
16,928 ≈ 17,000
I rounded each value to the thousands place. 29,8667 rounded up to 30,000 and 16,928 rounded to up to 17,000 because they were greater than the midpoints.
b. If I had rounded 42,429 to the nearest thousands place, I would have not have not ordered enough because 42,429 rounded to the nearest thousand would be 40,000.
c. Men: 28,357 ≈ 30,000
women: 14,072 ≈ 10,000
About 20,000 more men finished than women. It is determined to the nearest ten thousands place. This place is chosen because the availability to use the mental math to solve.
