Rounding is a method that simplifies numbers to make mental math easier, especially in estimation. When rounding to the nearest ten, numbers that end in 1 to 4 round down, while numbers ending in 5 to 9 round up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the 28-ounce bottles, 28 is closer to 30 than to 20, so each 28-ounce bottle rounds up to 30 ounces. Since Mr. Johnson buys four of these, we multiply the rounded amount by 4:<br>4 \u00d7 30 = 120 ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the 64-ounce bottle, 64 is closer to 60 than 70, so it rounds down to 60 ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding the totals gives us:<br>120 ounces (from the four smaller bottles) + 60 ounces (from the large bottle) = 180 ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Estimating by rounding simplifies the calculation and gives us a reasonable approximate total of lemonade Mr. Johnson buys, which is about 180 ounces. This method is helpful when exact precision is not necessary, and it allows quick mental calculations, especially in everyday situations like shopping or planning for events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the correct choice is <strong>B. 180 ounces<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr. Johnson buys 5 bottles of lemonade for the school picnic.
