Answer to Problem 52SGR
The difference in weight between two cows is estimated inpounds.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The possible unit of measures ounces, pounds and tons and the real-world situation difference in weight between two cows.
Formula used:
A metric is used to model real-world situation with help of numbers. It is a rule that assigns a number to some characteristic or attribute.
Consider the provided information that possible unit of measures are ounces, pounds and tons and the real-world situation difference in weight between two cows.
Recall that a metric is used to model real-world situation with help of numbers. It is a rule that assigns a number to some characteristic or attribute.
A cow weighs too much. When the difference in weight of two cows is estimated then ounces is not a good unit to measure as it used to weigh small things, and tons is too big unit.
So, difference in weight between two cows is estimated best in pounds.
Thus, the difference in weight between two cows is estimated in pounds.
