Answer 1

21. To figure out how many hours will it take to drive from his home and his cousins house. A student divides 289 by 60 and estimated that it will take about 4.5 hours. Question : Is it a reasonable estimation? Let’s find out => 289 I think this is the distance => 60 is the minute. => 289 / 60 (60 is equivalent to 1 hour) => 4.8 hours will be his trip if only he runs 60 miles per hour
