Match each fraction to a reasonable estimate

Mathematics
1 answer:
My name is Ann [436]3 years ago

Answer:

  • -3/13 ≈ -1/4
  • -6/11 ≈ -1/2
  • -7/9 ≈ -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll drop all the minus signs, since they don't contribute anything but distraction.

When numerators or denominators are relatively large, changing their value by 1 unit will have a relatively small effect on the value of the fraction. For example, ...

  3/13 ≈ 3/12 = 1/4

If we compare the decimal values of these fractions, we see that ...

  3/13 ≈ 0.230769... (6-digit repeating decimal)

The closest of the offered "reasonable estimate" fractions is 1/4 = 0.25.

__

Likewise, 6/11 ≈ 6/12 = 1/2. In decimal, these fractions are ...

  6/11 = 0.54... (2-digit repeat)

  1/2 = 0.5

__

We can also increase or decrease both numerator and denominator by the same amount to get a fraction with nearly the same value. This works best when the numbers are larger.

  7/9 ≈ 6/8 = 3/4 . . . . . . both numerator and denominator decreased by 1

In decimal, these are ...

  7/9 = 0.7... (1-digit repeat)

  3/4 = 0.75

Express 4/5 as a decimal using long division
Hoochie [10]

Here, we want to express the given fraction as a decimal by the use of long division

We start by writing the long division sign

We place 5 on the left hand side outside and place 4 inside the long division sign

Now, as we know, 4 cannot divide 5 wholly as it is less than 5

We simply add a 0 at the top of the long division symbol, with a decimal point after it.

Concurrently, we place a zero after 4

Hence we have 40 inside the long division

Then we can divide 40 by 5 to get 8

The 8 now comes after the decimal point

Hence, our answer is 0.8

Pictorally, we can have the representation as follows;
