Q. Kamal runs marathons, which are about 26 miles long. He usually runs 4 marathons a year, and he has been doing this for 11 years. Kamal estimates he has run a little over 100 miles during all these marathons. Is that a good estimate?(A) Yes.(B) No, it is much too high.(C) No, it is much too low.
Calculate Total Marathons: Step 1: Calculate the total number of marathons Kamal has run over 11 years. He runs 4 marathons each year.Calculation: 4 marathons/year ×11 years = 44 marathons.
Calculate Total Distance: Step 2: Calculate the total distance Kamal has run in these marathons. Each marathon is approximately 26 miles long.Calculation: 44 marathons ×26 miles/marathon = 1144 miles.
Compare Estimate with Calculation: Step 3: Compare Kamal's estimate of running "a little over 100 miles" with the calculated total of 1144 miles.Reasoning: Kamal's estimate of a little over 100 miles is significantly lower than 1144 miles.
