Horse Barn (Part 2) (Use estimation to solve multi-step word problems involving multiplication and division.)

The video tutorial explains how to solve multistep word problems involving multiplication and division. It begins with a discussion on rounding numbers, using the example of rounding 32 to 30, and the implications of such estimations. The tutorial then explores a scenario where six bags of grain are used to feed horses, demonstrating the calculation of 6 times 6 equals 36 pounds and dividing it equally among four horses. The lesson concludes by emphasizing the importance of accurate calculations to ensure each horse receives enough food, highlighting the key learning points of solving word problems with multiplication and division.

What is the result of rounding 32 to the nearest ten?

• 30

• 10 pounds

• 9 pounds

• 8 pounds

• 6 pounds

What is the total weight of grain when using six bags?

• 36 pounds
