Patrick counted the cars that drove by his house over a 5-minute period. He counted a total of 27 cars.

1. Suppose that at the same time of the day exactly one week later, Patrick counts cars over a 20-minute period. About how many cars would you expect him to count?

2. If Patrick started counting cars after school at about 3 p.m, would you expect him to count more, fewer, or about the same number of cars than if he started counting at 5 pm.? Explain your reasoning.
