Question

Solve. A train traveled 936 miles at a constant speed in 12 hours. a. How can you find the number of miles the train traveled each hour? b. What is a reasonable estimate for the quotient?​

Answer 1

a. 936/12 b. 80

Explanation:

a. Divide 936/12 to find miles per hour

b. 80 because if you round 936 to 960 which you know is divisible by 12 you get 80 which is pretty close to the actual answer 78.

Answer 2

Answers:

a. How can you find the number of miles the train traveled each hour?

78 miles. Check explanation below.

b. What is a reasonable estimate for the quotient?​

80 miles.

Explanation:

a. How can you find the number of miles the train traveled each hour?

Stablish a rule of 3 like this:

12 hours ---------- 936 miles

1 hour -------------- x

`x=(1*936)/(12)=78`.

Hence, the number of miles that the train traveled each hours was 78 miles.

b. What is a reasonable estimate for the quotient?​

Let's round this number to the closest 10, which is 80.
