Which is the best estimate for the weight of a stapler?

A. 4 ounces
B. 4 pounds
C. 4 inches
D. 4 feet

Asked by bryanstone2003

Answer (3)

That would be four pounds, four feet and four inches are measurements of length not weight. Ounces are way to light for a stapler. Four ounces would be a small cup paper cup filled with water (something like that), thus making it four pounds.

The best estimate for the weight of a stapler is 4 ounces.
4 ounces: This is a common unit for measuring small weights.
Staplers are typically lightweight office supplies, and 4 ounces is a reasonable weight for a typical stapler.
4 pounds: Pounds are a much larger unit of weight , and 4 pounds would be much too heavy for a standard stapler.
A typical stapler does not weigh anywhere near 4 pounds.
4 inches: Inches are used to measure length or distance, not weight.
So, 4 inches is not an appropriate estimate for the weight of a stapler.
4 feet: Feet are also used to measure length or height, not weight.
A weight cannot be measured in feet, and 4 feet would be an entirely incorrect unit for a stapler's weight.
Therefore, the best estimate for the weight of a stapler is 4 ounces because it is a common and reasonable unit of weight for this type of office tool.

The best estimate for the weight of a stapler is 4 ounces, as standard staplers usually weigh between 4 ounces and 1 pound, while 4 pounds may be too heavy. Options C and D are length measurements and not applicable. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
