Q. Loaves of bread are sold in bags closed with plastic clips.Students at East Lake School collected 1 million of these clips.They want to estimate the total mass of the clips, in kilograms.Which rule will not give them a good estimation?Count the number of clips in 10 grams of clips, then multiply by 100000.Count the number of clips in 1 kilogram of clips, then divide 1 million by this number.Find the mass of 1 clip in grams, multiply by 1 million and then divide by 1000.Find the mass of 20 clips in grams, divide by 1000 and then multiply by 100.
Count Clips in 10g: Analyze the first method: Count the number of clips in 10 grams of clips, then multiply by 100,000.
Count Clips in 1kg: Analyze the second method: Count the number of clips in 1 kilogram of clips, then divide 1 million by this number.
Mass of 1 Clip: Analyze the third method: Find the mass of 1 clip in grams, multiply by 1 million and then divide by 1000.
Mass of 20 Clips: Analyze the fourth method: Find the mass of 20 clips in grams, divide by 1000 and then multiply by 50,000.
