Connor is stuck in a traffic jam on a single-lane road. The traffic report tells him the traffic jam stretches for 5.5 miles.
If Connor assumes each car is about 12.5 feet long, which calculation is most
reasonable for Connor to use to find about how many cars are stuck in the traffic jam?

Cornor should divide the total length of the road on which there is traffic by the length of each of the cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The best calculation he can use is to divide the total length of the road on which we have the traffic by the length of each of the cars

Mathematically, the best way to go about this is to convert the miles to feet then divide by the length of each of the cars

Mathematically 1 mile = 5280 feet

so 5.5 miles will be = 5280 * 5.5 = 29,040 feet

It is this length we shall now divide by 12.5 ft

And that is 29,040/12.5 = 2,323.2

Which is approximately 2,323 cars

10.416 meters per second

step-by-step explanation:

distance=1 00 meters

time= 9.6 seconds in decimal form or 9 3/5 as a mixed number

average speed= 100/9.6

=10.416 meters per second or 10 52/125 as a mixed number.
