Q. The Wilsons are storing water in case there is a natural disaster. They have 1212 small bottles of water that hold 88 ounces each. They also have 44 large bottles of water that hold 2424 ounces each. They estimate that they have around 2,0002,000 ounces of water in total. 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 total ounces small bottles: Calculate the total ounces in small bottles. Multiply the number of small bottles by the ounces each holds.\newline1212 small bottles ×8\times 8 ounces each = 9696 ounces.
  2. Calculate total ounces large bottles: Calculate the total ounces in large bottles. Multiply the number of large bottles by the ounces each holds.\newline44 large bottles ×24\times 24 ounces each = 9696 ounces.
