Making The Estimations ...

As in the example we worked out earlier, we are only interested in making a rough estimate of the solution. This is often called an order of magnitude solution. That is, the size is about write, but the numbers are probably wrong.

The first thing we should estimate is how heavy ten million dollars worth of gold would be.

In the following box, select the value which you think would be closest to the price of one gram of gold. The box on the next line will give you a hint towards the answer.

NOTE: You may have to select your chosen answer twice due to a bug in Netscape.

The price of gold is approximately per gram.


On to the next part of the solution.
