1.   Suppose you are in a building and your eyes are 1,000 feet above the ground. The distance you can see to the horizon is where h represents the height your eyes are from the ground in feet and d is the distance in miles. About how far can you see to the horizon if you estimate to the nearest whole number?
    A. about 37 miles B. about 38 miles
    C. about 39 miles D. about 36 miles
    Hint

  2.   The formula gives the minimum speed s of a car in miles per hour, where d is the distance in feet the car skidded after its brakes were applied and f is a drag factor that depends on the road surface. A car left skid marks for 80 feet on a dry, concrete road surface with a drag factor of 0.82. Find the minimum speed to the nearest mile per hour.
    A. 42 miles per hour B. 44 miles per hour
    C. 46 miles per hour D. 48 miles per hour
    Hint

  3.   Estimate the solution of to the nearest whole number.
    A. 12 B. 11
    C. 10 D. 9
    Hint

  4.   Estimate .
    A. 26 B. 24
    C. 25 D. 27
    Hint

  5.   On a clear day, the distance in miles that you can see to the horizon is about 1.23 × , where h represents the height of your eyes above the ground in feet. Estimate the distance you can see if your eyes are 98 feet above ground.
    A. 12 miles B. 10 miles
    C. 11 miles D. 13 miles
    Hint
