Madison says her pet cat weighs about 8 ounces. Her brother Phillip says the cat weighs about 8 pounds. Whose estimate is more accurate? Use benchmarks to explain your answer.

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
