Question

Which is the best estimate of -3/5 17 5/6? –18 –9 9 18

Answer 1

b) - 9

Explanation:

The given expression is -
`(3)/(5) . 17.(5)/(6)`

Here we can write 17 as 17/1 which is in fraction form.

Now let's multiply the fraction together

=
`-(3*17*5)/(5*1*6)`

=
`-(255)/(30)`

= -8.5

-8.5 can be estimated as -9

The answer is -9.

Thank you.
