Question

Kiwi and Corn got into an argument over if 1.75 was a reasonable estimate for 6. Do you think 1.75 was a reasonable estimate for 6? Why or why not?

Answer 1

No, it is not.

Explanation:

comparing the two given values, 1.75 and 6, estimating 1.75 for 6 is not reasonable. This is due to the fact that converting 1.75 to the nearest whole number gives 2 which is far away from 6. Since,

6 - 2 = 4

So, estimating 1.75 for 6 would involve a large value of error. Which make it unreasonable. It would have been more reasonable to estimate 1.75 for 2.
