Your initial instinct would be to solve this problem with this solution. 34 x 57 = 1,938 petals.
However, the word estimate is present; therefore, we have to consider that we need to get the approximate number and not the exact number of petals.
There is a general rule regarding estimation or approximation. You have to round it to the nearest place you have based on. In this problem we round it off to the nearest tens place.
If the number is below 5, you round it down: 34 is rounded down to 30 petals.
If the number is above 5, you round it up: 57 is rounded up to 60 sunflowers.
Thus, your equation would be : 30 x 60 = 1,800 petals (best estimate)
Answer:
number 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The number 0 is a whole number but not a natural number. But we can say that natural numbers contain all the whole numbers except the number 0.
10 + (-34) is the same as 10 - 34, for adding a negative number is the same as subtracting the two numbers
remember, one positive and one negative = negative (as it is the same as +1(-34)
B is your answer
Answer:
12 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship between jogging speed and walking speed means the time it takes to walk 4 miles is the same as the time it takes to jog 8 miles. Then the total travel time (0.75 h) is the time it would take to jog 1+8 = 9 miles. The jogging speed is ...
(9 mi)(.75 h) = 12 mi/h . . . average jogging speed
__
<em>Check</em>
1 mile will take (1 mi)/(12 mi/h) = 1/12 h to jog.
4 miles will take (4 mi)/(6 mi/h) = 4/6 = 8/12 h to walk.
The total travel time is (1/12 +8/12) h = 9/12 h = 3/4 h. (answer checks OK)

<em>Comment on the problem</em>
Olympic race-walking speed is on the order of 7.7 mi/h, so John's walking speed of 6 mi/h should be considered quite a bit faster than normal. The fastest marathon ever run is on the order of a bit more than 12 mi/h, so John's jogging speed is also quite a bit faster than normal. No wonder he got tired.
