Yesterday we calculated the number of drops of water in a bathtub.
First of all we decided that the mathematical modelfor a bathtub is a parallelepiped.
Students measured their bathtubs at home and the dimensions were 70x170x38 cm.
Then the volume is 452200 cubic centimetres
Finally, we decided to use a dropper and count how many drops were there in 1 cubic centimetre.
We went to Chemistry laboratory and count.
Our results were: 35, 25, 21, 20, 22, 23, 35, 30, 25, 36.
Calculating the mean, it was about 27.
So the number of drops was 12209400!!!!
