Question

Sam walks 296 steps in 8 minutes. Approximate the number of steps he walks in a minute.

• A. 15 steps
• B. 20 steps
• C. 25 steps
• D. 30 steps

Answer 1

The correct option is D 30 steps

The exact number of steps walked by Sam in 1 minute is given by dividing 296 by 8.

But we can approximate its value by rounding off the dividend and the divisor and dividing them.



So, 300 ÷ 10 = 30

$\therefore$ Sam walks approximately 30 steps in 1 minute.
