Q. Which is a better estimate for the height of a mailbox?Choices:(A) 47 yards(B) 47 inches
Consider Mailbox Height: Step 1: Consider the typical height of a mailbox. Mailboxes are usually not very tall, definitely not as tall as several feet, but taller than a few inches.
Compare Given Choices: Step 2: Compare the choices given. Choice (A) is 47 yards, which is way too tall for a mailbox since 1 yard equals 3 feet, making it 141 feet tall. Choice (B) is 47 inches, which is just under 4 feet.
Choose Realistic Measurement: Step 3: Decide which measurement seems more reasonable for a mailbox. Since 47 yards is excessively high for a mailbox, 47 inches is a more realistic estimate.
