Question

Beau's suitcase weighs 40 pounds. which is NOT a reasonable prediction for the number of items he packed?

A. 39
B.45
C. 31
D. 42

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

45 items is not a reasonable number, as the suitcase itself probably weighs about 20 pounds, and the likeliness of each item weighing about 1/2 a pound is unreasonable.

Answer 2

The answer is 31.

Explanation:

Since Beau's suitcase weighs 40 pounds he packed at least 35 items. Anything less than 35 items couldn't be possible.
