Answer: Second option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that


-18(1)/(4)/ 2(2)/(3)

We need to find the best estimation:

First we change the mixed fraction into improper fraction:


-18(1)/(4)\approx -18

and


2(2)/(3)=(8)/(3)=2.6666....\approx 3

So, it becomes,


-18/3\\\\=(-18)/(3)

Hence, Second option is correct.
