Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.23PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To explain the deductive and inductive reasoning
Concept introduction:
- Deductive reasoning is based on information, pattern, hypothesis and theory formations
- Inductive reasoning is based on initial theory or concepts, then the formation of a hypothesis, then observation and finally a conclusion.

1.) In a hypothetical garden each of the identical trees consist of 11 branches and each branch on a tree consists of 35 leaves. How many trees would have 8,085 leaves? (Do not give units in answer.)
2.) Supposing in a hypothetical garden 43 identical trees contain a total of 19,565 leaves. If each branch on a given tree consist of 35 leaves how many branches does each tree have? (Do not give units in your answer.)
PART 2
Density of Gravel
The mass of the empty weighing boat was measured. Then the weighing boat was filled with gravel,
and the mass of the weighing boat and the gravel was measured.
Mass of weighing boat = 0.98 g
Mass of weighing boat and gravel = 58.98 g
We are interested in the mass of the gravel.
(a) Gravel is matter. Why?
(b) What is the name of this method of measurement of mass of a substance?
(c) What is the other method of measurement of mass of a substance?
(d) What type of balance are we using in this experiment?
(e) Calculate the mass of the sample of gravel.
