Answer

7/9 chance to pick a brown sock first and 1/4 chance to get a black sock after

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding and Estimating Whole Numbers explain what is it and what to do

Kay [80]

Rounding numbers means you change the number to a closer, easier number. For example if you want to round 56 to the nearest tenth, it would round to 60.
Estimating numbers is when you guess numbers. For example, if you want to estimate the measure used to measure a bed, i would estimate feet.
