Question

He distance between Miami and Naples is 107 miles. The distance between Miami and Jacksonville is about three times this distance. Landon estimates the distance between Miami and Jacksonville is about 400 miles. Is Landon's estimate reasonable? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Distance between Miami and Naples = 107 miles

Distance between Miami and Jacksonville is about three times this distance.

Distance between Miami and Jacksonville = 3 * 107 miles

= 321 miles

Landon estimates the distance between Miami and Jacksonville is about 400 miles

The estimate is too high

He should have estimated 107 miles to 110 miles which gives a total of 330 miles

Estimated 400 miles compared to 330 miles is too high
