Use the Fermi process to estimate the number of bricks needed to fill an empty bathtub. Show your work.

 

***

A typical brick is a rectangular prism with dimensions 4 in. x 2 in. x 8 in.

A typical bathtub is a rectangular prism with dimensions 60 in. x 30 in. x 18 in.

 

*** You can either use these dimensions or come up with your own. Like having the bricks dimensions as 7 in. x 5 in. x 2 in. and the bathtub being 48 in. x 24 in. x 24 in. Its up to you. :)

 

Fermi Estimate: An estimate of a very large number using the Fermi process; This process involves being able to estimate quanties and then round the estimates to the largest number that is a product of a counting number less than 10 and a power of 10.

 

Thank You For All Your Help!!!!
