Sure, let's solve this step by step.
1. Estimate the height of a classroom door:
- The average height of a classroom door is approximately 7 feet.
2. Convert the height from feet to inches:
- There are 12 inches in a foot.
- Therefore, [tex]\( 7 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} = 84 \text{ inches} \)[/tex].
3. Determine the number of 12-inch rulers:
- A 12-inch ruler is 1 foot in height.
- To find out how many 12-inch rulers are equal to the height of the door, we divide the height of the door by the height of the ruler.
[tex]\[
\frac{84 \text{ inches}}{12 \text{ inches/ruler}} = 7 \text{ rulers}
\][/tex]
4. Check if the sentence describes the door:
- The sentence would describe the door if estimating the number of rulers makes practical sense and fits within this estimate.
- Since 84 inches (or 7 feet) is a reasonable height for a classroom door and 7 is an integer number of rulers, this matches a common height for doors.
Therefore, the sentence "Estimate how many 12-inch rulers will be about the same height as a classroom door" appropriately describes the door.
Answer: Yes
