On a residential single lane road there was a wreck that backed up traffic for 4 miles. 70% of the traffic consists of cars and 30% of the traffic consists of trucks. the average distance between vehicles is 3 feet. the average length of a car is 13.5 feet and the average length of a truck is 20 feet. estimate how many vehicles are stuck in the traffic jam.

(hint: there are 5280 feet in 1 mile)


A) 276

B) 896

C) 1172

D) 1412

Answer 1

Answer: B

If you take all the numbers in the paragraph; 20, 13.5, 3, 4 and then 30% and 70%. You would divide 20 by 3 and then multiply that answer by 4 then multiply that by .7 and .3 witch would equal 896
