Question

Gregory decides to drive to Toronto to visit a college friend. After crossing the Canadian border, he discovers that the speed limits are posted in kilometers rather than miles per hour. Luckily, Gregory remembers that 1 kilometer equals 1.6 miles and that to convert kilometers to miles, he can multiply the number of kilometers by 0.6214. This method would be an example of a problem-solving strategy called:______

Answer 1

Answer:

algorithm

Explanation:

An algorithm is an ordered set of unambiguous executable steps, defining a process that has start, middle and end, then follows a logical sequence. In other words algorithm is simply a "recipe" to perform a task or solve a problem. And like every recipe, an algorithm must also be finite. If we follow a cake recipe correctly, we can make the cake, following this logic, if we know how to follow the steps of an algorithm we can solve the problem.

Gregory is using the algorithm while following a logical sequence to find out how many miles per hour equals one kilometer.
