Q. Jaylen can make a small gift basket in 99 minutes and a large gift basket in 2121 minutes. Right now he has orders for 66 small gift baskets and 33 large gift baskets. He estimates that making all the gift baskets will take 120120 minutes. Is that a good estimate?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)Yes.\newline(B)No, it is much too high.\newline(C)No, it is much too low.
  1. Calculate Time for Small Baskets: Calculate the total time Jaylen needs to make 66 small gift baskets. Each small basket takes 99 minutes, so:\newline66 small baskets ×9\times 9 minutes each =54= 54 minutes
  2. Calculate Time for Large Baskets: Calculate the total time Jaylen needs to make 33 large gift baskets. Each large basket takes 2121 minutes, so:\newline33 large baskets ×21\times 21 minutes each =63= 63 minutes
  3. Add Total Time: Add the times for small and large baskets to find the total time needed:\newline5454 minutes (small baskets) + 6363 minutes (large baskets) = 117117 minutes
  4. Compare Estimated vs Calculated Time: Compare Jaylen's estimate of 120120 minutes with our calculated total of 117117 minutes:\newline120120 minutes (estimate) vs. 117117 minutes (calculated)
