Holly is displaying her pokemon collection on a bulletin board that is 12 1/4 inches wide. Each card is 2 1/2 inches wide. Holly estimates that the number cards she can display in each row is 5. Is this the best estimate? Explain

Respuesta :

This would be incorrect. Multiplying how wide the card is (2 1/2) inches by the estimate (5) would equal up to 12 1/2 inches. 12 1/2>12 1/4, so she cannot add the fifth. The correct number would then be 4.
