Estimation Reveal:
Prompt #1:
Next up in the Shot Put competition, officials measured a throw to be 54 feet using 6 orange sticks exactly. How long are each of the sticks?
Prompt #2:
The opponent challenged the officials to measure with a purple stick that is 6 feet long. If the purple sticks were used to measure out the throw exactly, how many sticks must they have used?
Prompt #3:
Conveniently, both the purple and orange sticks measured the 54 foot throw exactly.
Are there any other shot put throw lengths where this would occur? Use a model to convince us.
