6/8. multiply 3/4 by 2 and there is your answer.
Both 17/10 and 2 4/5 should be rounded up in preparation for this estimation.
17/10 is close to 2 and 2 4/5 is close to 3. Thus, your estimated answer should be
2/3, or approx. 0.6666....
Exact answer: divide 17/10 by 14/5. LCD is 10, so convert 14/5 to 28/10.
Now divide 17/10 by 28/10. Answer: 17/28 = approx. = 0.607 approx.
These two results are comparable: 0.6666.... and 0.6071 ....
A math test is a situation in which you would need to do this :)
First of all, you would make 6 1/4 into an improper fraction. This makes it 25/4, then you multiply it by 2 to get 50/8 and have common denominators. Divide that by 1/8, which would be 50. Then since each 1/8 costs 2 dollars you would multiply 50 by 2. So, the answer would be that they made 100 dollars.
