3) Eduardo uses the Fermi process and the following estimates to determine how many paperback books would fill the community pool he visits.

A paperback book is about ​ 1/2 ​ ft long, ​ 1/5 ​ ft wide, and ​ 1/5 ​ ft thick.

The swimming pool is about 40 ft long, 30 ft wide, and 5 ft deep.

Which equation could he have written?

A: \( \frac{6*10^3}{2*10^-2}=3*10^5\)

B: \( \frac{6*10^3}{2*10^-2}=3*10^1\)

C: \( \frac{6*10^4}{2*10^-2}=3*10^6\)

D: \( \frac{6*10^4}{2*10^-2}=3*10^2\)

 

 

Thank You!!!

 

EDIT: The Answer is A: \( \frac{6*10^3}{2*10^-2}=3*10^5 \)
