Orchard Lake Elementary School held a canned food drive to support a local charity. The primary grades collected 328 cans and the upper grades collected 472 cans. Unfortunately, some of the cans of food were expired and could not be used. The school donated a total of 776 cans. Which equation represents this situation? A 776 β π = 328 + 472 B 472 β 328 β π = 776 C 328 + 472 + π = 776 D 328 + 472 β π = 776

Mustafa solved this problem. Brandon has 6 action figures, but he needs a total of 15 to complete his collection. If each action figure costs $9, how much money would he need to finish his collection?
$81 Mustafa wants to make sure his answer is reasonable. How could he use mental computation to double-check his work? A 15 + 6 = 21 and 21 Γ $9 = $189 B $81 Γ 9 =$729 and $729 Γ· 9 = $81 C 15 β 6 = 9 and 9 Γ $9 = $81 D $81 Γ· 3 = 27 and 27 β 7 = 15 Copyright Β© Swun Math Grade 3 Unit 7 Assessment, Page 3

Quynh solved this problem. My science book is 89 pages long. I have been reading 10 pages each day. There are 9 pages left to read. How many days have I been reading?
8 days Quynh wants to make sure his answer is reasonable. How could Quynh use rounding to get the best estimate? A 10 pages Γ 8 days = 80 pages total, plus about 10 more pages left to read, which is about 90 pages. 90 pages is close to 89 pages. B 90 Γ· 9 = 10. Ten is close to 8. C 10 pages a day for 8 days is 80 pages. Thatβs close to 89 pages total. D 90 pages total Γ· 8 days reading means about 12 pages were read each day. Twelve is close to 10 pages per day.
