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
