Which of the following is a reasonable estimate for the weight capacity of an elevator that can carry up to 15 people? 3 × 102 lb 3 × 10-2 lb 3 × 10-3 lb 3 × 103 lb (I'm thinking D but i'm not 100% sure.)

D would be correct. 10^3 = 1000 times 3 = 3000..that makes more sense than 10^2 = 100 times 3 = 300 The negative exponents were automatically incorrect
