Answer:

4950 potholes in 6 weeks, estimated is 4800.

Explanation:

To estimate, let's round 825 to the nearest 100th - 800.

Now we multiply 800 times 6 to find our estimate.


800\cdot 6 = 4800

If we know that the road repair crew can fix 825 potholes PER WEEK, we can set up a proportion to find how many they can do in 6 weeks.


(825)/(1) = (x)/(6)

Let's cross multiply to find the value of x.


825\cdot6=4950\\4950/1=4950

So the repair crew can fix 4950 potholes in 6 weeks.

4950 is pretty close to 4800, so our exact answer should be correct.

Hope this helped!
