There are 250 toothpicks. Creating a small pyramid takes 3 tooth picks, you can create 83 small pyramids with those 250 toothpicks with 1 toothpick left over.
Making an estimation of how many levels you will make with all the toothpicks and Writing down an answer that is too high and too low, Too high: 40 levels, Too low: 10 levels. Defend your estimations using 3 complete sentences and show all of your mathematical thinkings
Too High: 40 levels. This estimation is too high because with 250 toothpicks, each small pyramid taking 3 toothpicks, I can only create a total of 83 small pyramids. If I were to make 40 levels, each level would require more than 250 toothpicks, which is not possible with the given amount.
Too Low: 10 levels. This estimation is too low because each small pyramid uses up 3 toothpicks. With 250 toothpicks, I can create a total of 83 small pyramids. If I were to make only 10 levels, I would have leftover toothpicks that could be used to create more levels.
Based on the given information, the most accurate estimation would be between 10 and 40 levels. It is not possible to create 40 levels as it would require more toothpicks than I have, but 10 levels may be too low as I have enough toothpicks to create more small pyramids.
