Answer 1

Brian's average speed: 14.73 mile/hour

The traveled distance by skiing he estimated: 11.0475 miles.

As the information provided in table, the time he spent for skiing is 0.75

=> The distance Brian traveled by skiing: 14.73 x 0.75 = 11.0475 (miles)

=> Brian's product is correct.

=> Rounding to the nearest whole number => 11.0475 = 11 (miles)

Rounding the Brian's average speed to the nearest whole number:

=> 14.73 = 15 mile/hour

Round the activity time to the nearest whole number:

=> T = 3 + 1.45 + 1.2 + 0.75 = 6.4 = 6 (hour)

Hope this helps!
