2.1.4 Estimate quantities to a tolerance acceptable in the context of the estimation

Example 1: Estimating and measuring length
Question
John needs to measure the width of a window, to find out how much material he needs to buy to make a curtain. The curtain material costs R 55 per metre. John estimates the width of the window (using his arm) to be 1,9 metres wide. If Carl goes to the shop with this estimate:
1. How many metres of material would he need to buy?
2. How much would the material cost?

Answer
1. John needs to buy 2m of material
2. 2 × R 55 = R 110

John decides to double-check his estimated measurement before he buys the material and uses his tape measure to accurately measure the width of the window. He determines that the window is …show more content…

6 ℓ = 6000 ml
6000 ml ÷ 250 ml = 24
There are 24 cups of water left in the urn.
6 ℓ/20 ℓ×100=30%
The urn is 30% full

Example 4: Measuring temperature
The following weather report appears in the local newspaper in George, in the Western Cape. It gives the expected temperatures for one day in winter.
Study it and answer the questions that follow:

1. For which two South African provinces does this weather map show temperatures?
2. Explain why there are two temperatures given next to each town.
3. Which is the coldest town?
4. Which is the warmest town?
5. What is the difference between the two temperatures given for Alexander Bay?
6. What is the difference between the two temperatures given for De Aar?
7. Based on your own experience, at what time of day is it usually the coldest? (I.e. at what time of day is the minimum temperature likely to be reached?)
8. Joe is planning to drive from Cape Town to Beaufort West on the day for which these temperatures are forecast. Should he pack warm clothes? Explain your answer.

Answer
1. The Western and Northern Cape
2. The first temperature is the expected minimum temperature and the second one is the expected maximum temperature.
3. Kimberley.
4. George.
5. 15°C - 5°C =

For the last 5000 years Blackstone Lake and surrounding area has had a stable climate with its current climate of a mean July temperature of 18°C and a mean January day temperature of -7°C. Unlike the summer, the winter is strongly moderated by Georgian Bay. The expected number of frost-free days is 140. As the lake is in a snow belt caused by the lake end effect, it receives at least 2.5 m of snow. The lake effect also contributes to the total annual precipitation of 100 cm.

Each chapter in this book connects to temperature in some way. Temperature is changed drastically because of winds and air pressure which was discussed in Chapter 6. It is also altered because of things like air masses or the circulation of the atmosphere. We learned about weather forecasting in Chapter 12 which involves the forecasting of temperatures. Precipitation can come with different temperatures as well as storms and

Firstly, they would drink 2.6 gallons every 5 days for 240 days. Secondly, 240 days overall divided by every 5 days would be 48 days of distributing drinking water (240/5=48). Thirdly, you would have 48 distributing days multiplied by 2.6 which is the amount of water distributed this would give them 124.8 gallons distributed in the 240 days to a single person (48 x 2.6= 124.8). In the final analysis, they have multiplied 124.8 by 4 since that is how many people are in their group which gave them 499.2 gallons of water used (124.8 x 4= 499.2). Since only 41% of the cow and bull’s weight are consumable the group has a total of 409147.2 grams, or 902 servings, of consumable meat divided by four (902/4=225.5) then into 1.5 servings, or 680.4 grams, per 2 days and 3 bushels of wheat that is plenty for the first 120 days.

The Average Maximum Temperature is 85.8°F in July, whereas the Lowest Average Minimum Temperature is 23.9°F in January. Also noted is the Average Annual Snowfall of 10.7 inches. Scientists are finding that the aquifer could be at risk with the climbing climate. It triggers an increase in rainfall rather than snowfall in the mountains resulting in less groundwater. Reduction of water supply is also because of streamflow timing due to increased

To begin, Gomberg argues that a normal human life and reliable knowledge of the world around us requires us to have two virtues: we must trust what others tell us; we must be modest about what we believe ourselves to know when we recognize we may be wrong. He goes on to say that trust in knowledge by testimony is important because testimony is a special way of acquiring knowledge. It allows you to learn things such as when you were a child, your name, colors, animals, words, parts of our bodies, and common objects in the home. You learn these things from the people closest to you, like your parents. But as you grow older, you come to realize that this "testimony" isn 't as special as people may think it is.

Intolerance of Society Many tragic events are caused by the world’s inability to accept differences between human beings. This concept is seen throughout the history of the criminal justice system. Conflicts like lynching come as a result of intolerance, and as Betty Smith once said, “Intolerance is a thing that causes war, pogrom, crucifixions, lynchings, and makes people cruel to little children and each other. It is responsible for the most viciousness, violence, terror, and heart and soul breaking the world.” The Criminal Justice System is a huge part of why the south, or even America as a whole, had so many problems with lynching which is exemplified in “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

Tolerance of People who are Different The idea of tolerance within a community is highly important in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The plot of the novel explores this idea through Salazar Slytherin's intention to wipe out "mudbloods," or wizards with non- magical ancestors, from Hogwarts. Harry himself is only half-wizard, and Hermione's parents are both "Muggles," non-magical people. However, Harry and Hermione are better wizards than Malfoy, who is from a family of generations of pure wizard blood, showing that dedication and work, rather than genetic heritage, are the important factors in guaranteeing success.
