Question 6 of 8intermediate🔧 ApplyShort Answer3 marks

Fill a small container like a small bowl with seeds such as kidney beans, chickpeas, etc.

  • Look closely at the container to estimate how many seeds are in it. Your Estimate: ..... seeds.
  • Now count and see how close your estimation is to the actual number of seeds. Counted ..... seeds.
  • Guess how many times you need to fill the container to get close to 200 seeds? Your guess: ..... times.
Correct Answer

Step 1: Fill a small container with seeds (e.g., kidney beans, chickpeas).

Step 2: Estimate the number of seeds by visual observation. Your Estimate: ..... seeds.

Step 3: Count the actual number of seeds. Counted: ..... seeds.

Step 4: Compare your estimate with the actual count.

Step 5: Calculate how many containers are needed for 200 seeds. Formula: 200 ÷ (seeds per container) = number of containers needed.
