Question

A rope is rated to hold 21

2
pounds before it breaks. Estimate by rounding to the nearest pound how many
25
-pound weights the rope will hold.
Anwser:
A) 7 weighs

B) 11 weights

C) 5 weights

D) 9 weights

Answer 1

8 but choose 7 A.

Explanation:

Divide 25 into 212

You get 212 / 25 = 8.48

Ignore the 0.48

You can have 8 but if you are estimating, then 7 will do. 9 and especially 11 are too many.

You can do better than 5.
