Answer 2

Answer:

8.15mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mile is 1760 yards; and hour is 3600 (=2x1800) seconds.

So a yard per second is roughly two miles per hour (actually 1800/1760 x2 miles per hour, so the error is about 40 in 1800 or less than 1 in 40, 2.5%) and four yards per second is about 8 miles per hour. Upper bound of the estimate would be 8 + 2.5% = 8+0.15 = 8.15 mph.

if you start using calculators, you didn't look at the word “about” in the question. The ability to estimate quantities like this is your head is really a good skill to develop.
