Answer 1

the answer is 4950

Explanation:

Because the ratio would be 825:1 and if you times the 1 by 6. it would give you 6 and do the same to the other side with 825 that would give you 4950. hope you like my answer.

Answer 2

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!
