To determine reasonable estimates for the number of parking spaces on each level of the parking garage, we can perform some calculations.
The total number of spaces is 612, and there are 4 levels:
\[ \text{Number of parking spaces per level} = \frac{612}{4} = 153 \]
We seek reasonable estimates. Let's examine each option based on the reasoning and simplifications provided:
-
75 parking spaces, because 612 ÷ 4 is about 600 ÷ 8
- This is incorrect since \( 600 ÷ 8 = 75 \) does not accurately reflect the number of spaces per level (153).
-
100 parking spaces, because 612 ÷ 4 is about 400 ÷ 4
- This is incorrect because \( 400 ÷ 4 = 100 \) is not close to 153.
-
130 parking spaces, because 612 ÷ 4 is about 650 ÷ 5
- \( 650 ÷ 5 = 130 \) is considerably far from 153, thus not reasonable.
-
150 parking spaces, because 612 ÷ 4 is about 600 ÷ 4
- \( 600 ÷ 4 = 150 \) is a reasonable estimate as it is close to 153.
-
200 parking spaces, because 612 ÷ 4 is about 600 ÷ 3
- This is incorrect since \( 600 ÷ 3 = 200 \) is much higher than 153.
In conclusion, the only reasonable estimate based on the calculations provided is:
- 150 parking spaces, because 612 ÷ 4 is about 600 ÷ 4
