GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Number: Estimating - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to estimate the time required to complete a cycle race across America by rounding given values to one significant figure. It covers the process of rounding distance, speed, and time, and demonstrates how to use these rounded values to calculate the total time and number of days needed for the race. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of rounding in estimation questions and discusses the impact of changes in speed on the calculations.
