Question

Estimate the order of magnitude of the length in meters of each of the following:. a. a ladybug. b. your leg. c. your school building. d. a giraffe. e. a city block

Answer 1

A lady bug is the smallest or shortest item among the choices. A leg would be larger than a lady bug. Next, a giraffe has a height of about 10 meters which is undoubtly beyond the height of a school building. The city block would be the longest among all these. Hence the order from shortest to longest is lady bug < leg < school building < giraffe < city block
