Remember these!
- Estimating time considers distance and typical speed.
- 180 km at 60 km/hour takes about 3 hours.
- Estimating cost considers fuel, tickets or fares.
- Taxi cost might be estimated per kilometre.
- Estimation helps planning without exact figures.
- Estimation gives a reasonable idea, not an exact answer.
- This skill is useful for real trips and budgeting.
- Practice improves our estimation accuracy over time.
