Does Logan need an exact answer or an estimate?<br />

Is his neighbor expecting an estimate or exact answer?<br />

Logan will only be able to give an estimate for the cost because<br />

there is no way for him to know exactly how long it will take to<br />

mow the yard. His neighbor should expect an estimate.<br />

Solve<br />

How much does Logan charge if it takes him 2 hours?<br />

$10 + $10 = $20 So, Logan will charge about $20.<br />

Check<br />

When determining how long it will take to mow the lawn, is it better<br />

for Logan to estimate higher or lower? Explain.<br />

It is better for Logan to estimate higher. A higher estimate will<br />

prevent Logan from charging his neighbor much more than the<br />

original estimated cost.<br />
