Question

Round each mixed number to the nearest whole number and then estimate the difference. 18 9/11 - 8 3/8

Answer 1

Answer:

The estimated difference is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

$18\frac{9}{11}$ in simplified form is 18.81. This when rounded to whole number becomes 19.

Similarly, $8\frac{3}{8}$ in simplified form is 8.375 and when rounded to nearest whole number, it becomes 8.

Now, the difference will be :

$19-8=11$

So, the estimated difference is 11.

Answer 2

Answer:

18 9/11 rounded to the nearest whole number is 19 and 8 3/8 rounded to the nearest whole number is 8 so 19 - 8 = 11

Hope this helps :)
