During a food drive, a local middle school collected 8,982 canned food items. Each of the 28 classrooms that participated in the drive donated about the same number of items. Estimate the number of items each classroom donated. Please help answer thanks

9,000 / 30 = ?

To estimate the number of canned food items each classroom donated, you can divide the total number of items collected by the number of classrooms that participated.

In this case, the total number of canned food items collected is 8,982, and there were 28 classrooms that participated.

To estimate the number of items each classroom donated, divide the total number of items by the number of classrooms:

8,982 items ÷ 28 classrooms ≈ 321 items per classroom

Therefore, each classroom is estimated to have donated approximately 321 canned food items.
