Question:

A Walmart truck driver estimates that it will take him 12 hours to drive 1158 km. After 5 hours, he has drive 484 km.

(a) According to his estimate, how long would it take him to drive 1 hour? Show your number sentence and solution.

(b)Is he on schedule to arrive on time? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Ok so to get what 1 hour is, you do 1158 divided by 12 which is 96.5, then to see how many KM he drove in 5 hours, you do 96.5 which is 482.5. His estimate was 484 KM which was not right. (And 1 hour is 96.5 according to his estimate)
