So .27 means .27/1 or 2.7/10 or 27/100 or 270/1000 and so on
Okay this equation really says is what is 30% of 248.
So, lets convert 30% to a fraction, 3/10 which is easier to work with.
All you have to do now is get out a calculator and do 248 *3/10 (or .3) and get 74.4
So subtract 74.4 and get
173.6
find 1/2 then add the two base the multiply the h and divide by two
Y=8x-9
Hopefully that looks right
I'd say neither because 5.82-4.21 equals to 1.61, and it does not go above 2 as an overestimate. In addition, it's not an underestimate because 1.61 rounds up to 2. If you can't put that as an answer, you can say its an underestimate because it does not meet the real standards of being 2.
