Step-by-step explanation: We know that it takes the car 54.9 seconds to travel one mile, and we know that 1 times 4.3 is 4.3, so 4.3 times 54.9 equals 236.07 seconds.
The first fraction is between 27 and 28, closer to 28. The second fraction is between 3 and 4, closer to 4. Compatible numbers in division are numbers that can be divided mentally. 28 divided by 4 is 7. The quotient will be around 7.
