Question

A gross is equal to 144 items a bakers dozen is equal to 13 items. What is a reasonable estimate for the number of bakers dozen and a gross show how do you found your estimate

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the estimate, we can use division:

144 items ÷ 13 items = 11.08

Since we can't have a fraction of a baker's dozen, we need to round our estimate to the nearest whole number. In this case, our estimate would be 11 baker's dozen.

To summarize, a reasonable estimate for the number of baker's dozen in a gross is 11, calculated by dividing the total number of items in a gross (144) by the number of items in a baker's dozen (13) and rounding to the nearest whole number.
