Question

Which is the best estimate of
11 1/5 and 2 3/4

Answer 1

I think your question lacks a little bit of information. After a little research, I am able to find that you probably wanted to say '11 1/5 divided by 2 3/4'.

Therefore, I am solving the question assuming that you want to say:

''What is the best estimate of 11 1/5 divided by 2 3/4''.

Answer:

The best estimate of 11 1/5 divided by 2 3/4 will be: 4

Explanation:

Given the information

11 1/5 divided by 2 3/4

solving the expression

`11(1)/(5)/ 2(3)/(4)`

`\mathrm{Convert\:mixed\:numbers\:to\:improper\:fraction:}\:a(b)/(c)=(a\cdot \:c+b)/(c)`

so

• 
  `11(1)/(5)=(11\cdot 5+1)/(5)=(56)/(5)`

• 
  `2(3)/(4)=(2\cdot 4+3)/(4)=(11)/(4)`

so the expression becomes

`11(1)/(5)/ 2(3)/(4)\:=(56)/(5)/ \:(11)/(4)`

`=(56)/(5)* (4)/(11)`

`=(56* \:4)/(5* \:11)`

`=(224)/(5* \:11)`

`=(224)/(55)`

`=4.07`

`= 4` (Rounded to the nearest 1 or the Ones Place)

Therefore, the best estimate of 11 1/5 divided by 2 3/4 will be: 4
