Q. Which is a better estimate for the weight of a jar of jam?Choices:(A) 17 tons(B) 17 ounces
Analyze Choices: Step 1: Analyze the choices given for the weight of a jar of jam. Choices are 17 tons and 17 ounces. Consider the typical weight of a jar of jam, which is usually measured in ounces, not tons.
Compare Units: Step 2: Compare the reasonableness of the two units.A ton is a very large unit typically used for heavy objects or large quantities, which is not suitable for a jar of jam. An ounce is a much smaller and more appropriate unit for measuring something of this size.
