Estimate the height of a refrigerator. You can use these measurements to help.


A US quarter is about 1 inch across.	A men's shoe is about 1 foot long.	A baseball bat is about 1 yard long.

Which of these is the best estimate for the height of a refrigerator?

2 inches

2 feet

2 yards


A US quarter is about 1 inch across.	A men's shoe is about 1 foot long.	A baseball bat is about 1 yard long.

A refrigerator is about as tall as 2 baseball bats stacked end-to-end. So, 2 yards is a good estimate for the height of a refrigerator.

The other measurements are not good estimates for the height of a refrigerator.

2 inches is too short. A refrigerator is taller than 2 quarters stacked edge-to-edge.
2 feet is too short. A refrigerator is taller than 2 men's shoes stacked end-to-end.
