Question

What is the best estimate for the value of the expression?

(34/8-16/3)-14/9

Answer 1

The best estimate is -2.64

Explanation:

To get the estimate value we are rounding all values to the nearest hundredth

You use BOMDAS/PEMDAS to do this expression

(34/8 - 16/3) - 14/9

= 4.25 - 5.33 - 14/9

= 4.25 - 5.33 - 1.56

= -1.08 - 1.56

= -2.64
