Marisol is in a bathtub that is shaped like a rectangular prism, about 5 ft long, 2 ft wide, and 1 ft deep. she is drinking hot cocoa that is in a cylindrical mug about 3 in. wide and 4 in. tall. she wonders how many mugs of water it would take to fill her tub. her reasoning, shown here, contains an error.

the bathtub has a volume of about 17,280 inÂł, or about 1Ă—104 inÂł.
the mug has a volume of about 28 inÂł, or about 3Ă—101 inÂł.
1Ă—1043Ă—101=13Ă—103 , so about 333 mugs of water would fill the bathtub.

what is marisol's error?

the value 28 should have been rounded to 2Ă—101

the volume of the tub is not abut 17,280 inÂł.

the value 17,280 should have been rounded to 2Ă—104 .

the volume of the mug is not 28 inÂł.
