Last Saturday an accident caused a traffic jam 13 miles long on a stretch of the
interstate.

a. How many vehicles do you think were in the traffic jam if the average car's
length measures approximately 15 feet? Explain your thinking and show all
calculations.

b. Would there be more or less vehicles if you were told there were a large
number of SUVs and trucks present in this traffic jam? Explain your thinking and
show all calculations.


Sagot :

I would say b. because you don’t know what vehicles were there at the time. Therefore you don’t know how big they were so you would need more information
