Answer:
Rhea's estimation is unreasonable.
Step-by-step explanation:
Identify what you know:
1) Rhea calculates that she can write 1.25 pages every 2 hours
2) Rhea is calculating how long it would take her to write 6 pages.
Using Rhea's initial calculation, we can figure out roughly, how long it would take her to finish 6 pages.
First we need to divide 6 by 1.25, to figure out how many "2 hour" periods it would take Rhea.
6/1.25 = 4.8
4.8 x 2 = 9.6
It would take Rhea roughly 9.6 hours to finish 6 pages, which is 3.6 hours more than her original estimation. Thus, her estimate is unreasonable.
