Question

Vassil rounded to the nearest half to estimate the product of Five-eighths and StartFraction 8 over 9 EndFraction. How do the estimated and actual products compare?
(Hint: use 18 for the denominator when comparing.)
The actual product is about StartFraction 1 over 18 EndFraction greater than the estimate.
The actual product is about StartFraction 1 over 18 EndFraction less than the estimate.
The actual product is about StartFraction 1 over 9 EndFraction greater than the estimate.
The actual product is about StartFraction 1 over 9 EndFraction less than the estimate.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B which is the actual product is about StartFraction 1 over 18 EndFraction less than the estimate.

What are fractions?

The fraction is defined as the division of the whole part into an equal number of parts. here we have the following information Vassil rounded to the nearest half to estimate the product of Five-eighths and StartFraction 8 over 9 EndFraction.

E =  $\dfrac{5}{8}\times \dfrac{8}{9}$ = 0.55

Thus the product of the fraction estimated in the nearest half is,

0.5×1= 0.50

Therefore the correct answer is option B which is the actual product is about StartFraction 1 over 18 EndFraction less than the estimate.
