21. To figure out how many hours will it take to drive from his home and his cousins house.
A student divides 289 by 60 and estimated that it will take about 4.5 hours.
Question : Is it a reasonable estimation?
Let’s find out
=> 289 I think this is the distance
=> 60 is the minute.
=> 289 / 60 (60 is equivalent to 1 hour)
=> 4.8 hours will be his trip if only he runs 60 miles per hour
