1. Problem Statement Given: No Givens Find: The number of basketballs required to fill this room.

2. Comparisons MemberEstimate 16200 basketballs 15700 basketballs 6000 basketballs 7200 basketballs

3. Method and Approach 1.Determined room volume estimate 2.Determined volume of basketball 3.Manipulated volumes to give number of basketballs

4. Assumptions Volume of Basketball = 1ft 3 Room dimensions = 30ft x 60ft x 10ft – Determined using tiles on floor with a size assumption of 2ft x 2ft – Height determined using estimate based on personal height

5. Solution Vol. 30ft*60ft*10ft= 18000ft 3 Number of Basketballs – = 18000ft 3 / 1ft 3 = 18000 Basketballs
