Answer:
4950 potholes in 6 weeks, estimated is 4800.
Step-by-step explanation:
To estimate, let's round 825 to the nearest 100th - 800.
Now we multiply 800 times 6 to find our estimate.
[tex]800\cdot 6 = 4800[/tex]
If we know that the road repair crew can fix 825 potholes PER WEEK, we can set up a proportion to find how many they can do in 6 weeks.
[tex]\frac{825}{1} = \frac{x}{6}[/tex]
Let's cross multiply to find the value of x.
[tex]825\cdot6=4950\\4950\div1=4950[/tex]
So the repair crew can fix 4950 potholes in 6 weeks.
4950 is pretty close to 4800, so our exact answer should be correct.
Hope this helped!
