To determine whether Kyle's conclusion makes sense, let's first calculate the actual number of plants on the farm.
The total number of plants is given by multiplying the number of rows by the number of plants per row:
\[ 27 \text{ rows} \times 193 \text{ plants/row} = 5211 \text{ plants} \]
Now, let's evaluate Kyle's estimation. He estimated the number of plants by multiplying:
\[ 30 \times 200 = 6000 \]
Kyle concluded that the strawberry farm has fewer than 6,000 plants. Since we calculated that there are actually 5,211 plants, Kyle's conclusion that there are fewer than 6,000 plants is correct.
Now, let's analyze the options provided:
-
The conclusion makes sense because 6,000 is more than 27 x 193.
- This option states that Kyle's conclusion is valid because 6,000 is greater than 5,211, which is true.
-
The conclusion does not make sense because 300 x 200 = 6,000 which is not less than 6,000.
- This statement is incorrect because Kyle did not multiply 300 by 200; he used 30 multiplied by 200.
-
The conclusion makes sense because 6,000 is more than 193 divided by 27.
- This statement is irrelevant to judging Kyle's conclusion since it discusses a division that doesn't relate directly to the total number of plants.
-
The conclusion makes sense because 27 x 193 is greater than 6,000.
- This option is incorrect because 27 x 193 is actually 5,211 which is not greater than 6,000.
Given the evaluation, the correct interpretation based on Kyle's estimation and conclusion is:
The conclusion makes sense because 6,000 is more than 27 x 193.
