We have to use method of estimation!!

`3(1)/(8)` ≈ 3

`(7)/(12)` ≈
`(1)/(2)`

3 -
`(1)/(2)` = 2
`(1)/(2)`

Answer 2

`2(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

3 1/8 is equal to 3.125

7/12 = 0.5833333333333333333333333333 (goes on forever)

3.125-0.58333333 = 2.54166667

This round to 2.5

2.5 as a mixed number is
`2(1)/(2)`
