- Find dimensions of the room by number of tiles *(29/16)

- Estimate number of basketballs to fill each tile *(4)

- Estimate the number of basketballs to fill from the floor to the roof *(12)

- Multiply these numbers to get the total number of basketballs needed

Method

-The dimensions of the room are 29/16- 4 basketballs are required to fill each tile- 10 basketballs to reach from the floor to the

roof

Assumptions

29X16=464 (number of tiles) 464X4=1856 (number of basketballs to fill

the floor) 1856X12=22,272 (total number of

basketballs to fill the room)
