Question

Rashanda claims that she plays roughly 30 hours of golf per week. She played 3 hours on Monday, 9 hours total on Tuesday through Thursday, and 15 hours total over the next five days. Rashanda plays at a steady rate. Explain why her claim is or is not accurate.

Answer 1

Answer: Her claim is not accurate.

Explanation:

Given: Rashanda played on Monday= 3 hours

Rashanda played on Tuesday= 9 hours

Rashanda played on next five days = 15 hours

Therefore, the total hours she played in a week=
`3+9+15=27\ hours`

If we approximate the above time then we get 30 hours.

Hence, Rashanda's claim is not accurate she just gave a rough estimation.
