Estimation is a important skill to know when adding and subtracting decimals because if you estimate you have an idea on what your answer should be close to.
For example 4.68-2.38 could be 5-2 which is 3. 4.68-2.38 equals 2.3. 2.3 is close to 3.
Answer:
account balance will be $12113.9 and the interest is $2113.9.
It is not linear because x is raised to the second power. Therefore it is not straight and would be kindof like a rainbow cut in half on the graph..
namely, how many times does 3/4 go into 3½? Let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

V = lwh/3
= 5x3x1/3
= 15/3
= 5
Therefore the volume is 5 meter cubed.
