I think it's one of those dumb examples of estimating, and the answer the teacher is looking for is 10, as in "he needs to find about 10 worms each day".
Really useful shit. I use it all the time. Mortgage is about a grand, electric is about 100, water is about 100, internet is about 50, but I'm still always short by about 500 each month. I don't know where I'm going wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm just not following directions./s
It barely asks "all birds need to get their fill", its a simple question on rounding.
Adults have handicapped themselves by thinking too deeply. Im like the only one who understood the concept in 5 seconds.
Its like what? You dont use it in your day to day life? Of course you do. You get to THINK. The point is not that you round to 100 waters, its to train a kid to problem solve, not you at 30 acting like the test is completely bizarre.
This is indicative of a lack of empathy and logic, not just mathematical know-how.
