Day 45- Ketchup Estimation

Did you know that 70% of your life you actually need to estimate instead of calculate the correct answer?  That is more than 1/2 of the time.  Here is a great chance to practice this important skill.



For each one- Put your estimation and reasoning in the comment box below with a label.  Do better than I just guessed for your reasoning.  Try more than one!   On Friday we will reveal the answers and who is the closest for each grade span.
