Answer:

the estimated difference is 4

Explanation:

The estimated difference of 12 9/11 - 8 13/15 would be rounding the fractions to a whole number

12 9/11 becomes 12 11/11 which is 13

8 13/15 becomes 8 15/15 which is 9

we rounded each fraction up since each fraction was above the half way mark so the new equation is,

13 - 9 = 4
