Question

Convert to a mixed number and simplify: 83 over 6

Answer 1

`13(5)/(6)`

Explanation:

`(60)/(6)=10` (low estimate to make later estimates easier)

`10+(24)/(6) =14` (high estimate, must make lower)

`14*6\\eq 83` (incorrect estimate)

`84-83=1` (correcting estimate)

`14-(1)/(6) =13(5)/(6)` (corrected estimate)
