A city is putting in a sand pit at the park. The length is an even, one-digit whole number, and
the width is 6.7 feet. Which explains the least and greatest possible areas for the sand pit?
A.
The least and greatest one-digit whole numbers are 1 and 9. Since 1 × 6.7 = 6.7 and
9 × 6.7 = 60.3, the least and greatest areas for the sand pit are 6.7 square feet and
60.3 square feet.
B.
The least and greatest even, one-digit whole numbers are 2 and 8. Since 2 × 6.7 = 12.7
and 8 × 6.7 = 48.7, the least and greatest areas for the sand pit are 12.7 square feet
and 48.7 square feet.
C.
The least and greatest even, one-digit whole numbers are 2 and 8. Since 2 × 6.7 = 13.4
and 8 × 6.7 = 53.6, the least and greatest areas for the sand pit are 13.4 square feet
and 53.6 square feet.
D.
The least and greatest even, one-digit whole numbers are 2 and 8. Since 2 × 6.7 = 14
and 8 × 6.7 = 56, the least and greatest areas for the sand pit are 14 square feet
and 56 square feet.
