Suzy was adding numbers on a number line. She started at 26 and then she added 36. She wrote that her answer was 52. Is Suzy's answer reasonable? A. Yes, it is reasonable because if you add two numbers, you will get a number that is greater than either of the two numbers. B. No, it is not reasonable because if you round the numbers 25 + 35 = 60, so the answer should be a bit greater than 60. C. Yes, it is reasonable because 20 + 30 = 50, so the answer should be greater than 50.
