<em>Additional comment</em>
50 years ago, when a slide rule was the only available calculation tool, making an estimate of the result was a required part of doing the calculation. Not only were the first one or two significant digits needed, but also the power of 10 that multiplied them. Use of a slide rule required the order of magnitude be computed separately (by hand) from the significant digits of the result.

You may also find it useful to estimate the error in your estimate. That is, you may want to know the approximate answer to 2 (or more) significant digits in order to gain confidence that your calculation is correct.
Answer:
1) B. -2 hours per person
2) C. 3.60 per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
We can make a slope triangle connecting the points (4, 12) and (10,0)
We get -12/6, or -2 as our slope & final answer
2)
You can do x/y to find the unit rate for this one, or in this case 18/5 = 3.6
So u have to rearrange to find x.
First u multiply by - 2 to get rid of the fraction bit
This leaves u with - 46>/x-49
Now u have to get x on its own which means you have to get rid of - 49 and to do this the opposite of - 49 is +49, so you would ADD 49
This gives you 3>/x
And the number line which represents this is B.
