Jeff uses 116 rubber bands to make
a rubber-band ball He estimates
that he has used 448 rubber bands

and explain whether his answer
is reasonable or not.

Answer:

his answer is not reasonable, because if it takes 116 rubber bands to make a rubber band ball, then the most he could make is approximately 3.8 (or 4,) rubber band balls of the same size, if he wanted to make 12 he would need 1392 rubber bands, (116×12=1392,) to make that many.

So NO, his answer is NOT reasonable.

Answer: It is not a reasonable estimate.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 116 rubber bands to make a rubber-band ball, and it took “448” rubber bands to make 12, is not true. If 116 bands make a ball, then you have to multiply 116 x 12, which will equal 1392, which is not exactly close to 448. Therefore, Jeff’s estimate isn’t reasonable.
