Answer:
Molly's estimation was approximately correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Diameter of bike tire = 2 feet
Also Given:
She estimated that for every turn of the tire, the bike traveled about 6 feet.
Estimated Distance traveled = 6 feet
We need to find that whether her estimation reasonable.
Solution:
Now we know that Distance traveled is equal to Circumference of tire.
Since Tire is in circular shape.
We can say that;
Circumference of the tire will be π times diameter.
framing in equation form we get;
Circumference of the tire =
Now The actual distance traveled is 6.28 feet and Molly estimated as 6 feet.
Hence we can say that Molly's estimation was approximately correct.
