Question

Estimate the number of words in your textbook, without using a calculator.(The book has about 500 pages, with an average of 38 lines on a page, 12 words on a line.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$500\ Pages = 228000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Pages = 500$

$Lines = 38$

$Words = 12$

Required

Determine the number of words in the book

First, we need to calculate the number of words in a page.

$1\ Page = Words * Lines$

$!\ Page = 12 * 38$

$1\ Page = 456$

Next, we calculate number of words in 500 pages

Multiply both sides by 500

$500 * 1\ Page = 456 * 500$

$500\ Pages = 228000$

Hence, there are 228000 words in the book
