Answer 1

We have been given that Naima's pedometer recorded 43,498 steps in one week. Her goal is 88,942 Steps. Naima estimates she has about 50,000 more steps to Meet her goal.

We are asked to find out whether Naima's estimate is reasonable or not.

Let us find the number of exact steps to be completed by Naima to meet her goal.

Steps to be completed by Naima =
`88942-43498=45444`

We can see that Naima's estimate is reasonable as it quite close to 50,000. But we can say that her estimate is not accurate, instead it is slightly over-estimated.
