Q. Which is a better estimate for the weight of a hula hoop?Choices:(A) 14 pounds(B) 14 ounces
Consider Weight of Hula Hoop: Step 1: Consider the typical weight of a hula hoop. Hula hoops are generally lightweight and used for recreational activities, not heavy.
Compare Given Choices: Step 2: Compare the choices given. We have 14 pounds and 14 ounces as options. Knowing that 1 pound equals 16 ounces, 14 pounds would be 224 ounces, which seems too heavy for a hula hoop.
Choose Reasonable Unit: Step 3: Decide which unit seems more reasonable for the weight of a hula hoop. Since hula hoops are meant to be easily lifted and manipulated, 14 ounces is a more plausible estimate than 14 pounds.
