Question 2 • Grade 7 Mathematics

The times for Erin’s five laps around the track were 56 point 6 seconds, 57 point 9 seconds, 57 point 5 seconds, 65 point 3 seconds, and 65 point 7 seconds. Using rounding to the nearest whole second as the only estimation technique, what is the total estimated time for Erin’s five laps in seconds?

Answer
A
303
B
304
C
320
D
300

Explanation

Round each lap time to the nearest whole second: 56.6 → 57, 57.9 → 58, 57.5 → 58, 65.3 → 65, and 65.7 → 66. Adding the rounded times gives 57 + 58 + 58 + 65 + 66 = 304 seconds, so the estimated total is 304 seconds.
