Question

Josh estimates the height of his desk. What is a reasonable estimate?

Answer 1

 

The reasonable estimates are indicated in the following choices:

 

A) 1 foot

B) 2 feet

C) 5 feet

D) 9 feet

 

So, from the given choices, 2 feet or approximately 24 inches would be the most viable answer because most standard desks have a height around 28 inches to 30 inches. 1 foot is too low, while 5 feet and 9 feet are too high. Therefore, 3 to 4 feet would be the most perfect answer but since we have a limited number of options, the nearest reasonable estimate value would be 2 feet. The original numbers from a problem does not exceed in a reasonable estimate.
