Total = 2 + 4 + 10 = 16
Bubble Gums and Tootsie Roll = 2 + 10 = 12
P(Bubble Gums and Tootsie Roll) = 12/16 = 3/4
1) 3/4 - 1/2 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4. Vanessa's brothers ate half of the cake.
2) 1.75 + 2.4 = 4.15. 6.5 - 4.15 = 2.35. 4.15 = 2.35 = 1.8. Chad hiked 1.8 ore miles in the morning than in the afternoon.
To estimate this question, you can round the numbers to be compatible, to make it easier for yourself. The numbers should be able to be divided cleanly, as this is an estimate, not the actual problem solving. You could, for example, round 341 to 300, and 28 to 30, and divide them to get 10.
Hope that helped.
