A load of bricks weighs 7,798 ounces. Each brick weighs 67 ounces. Use compatible numbers to estimate the number of bricks in the load. (A) 101 (B) 110 (C) 127 (D) 210

To estimate the number of bricks, first convert the weight of the load from ounces to a more manageable figure by using compatible numbers. Since each brick weighs roughly 70 ounces (rounded from 67), you can divide the total weight of 7,798 ounces by 70 ounces per brick. Using simple division: 7,800 ounces ÷ 70 ounces/brick is approximately 111 bricks. Since 110 is the closest option available, the best estimation is (B) 110. Now you can easily see how rounding 67 to a nice, friendly 70 gives you a ballpark figure that’s easy to work with, helping you make quick calculations like a math wizard!
