Which is the best estimate of 5 5/6 - (1 1/4 + 3 7/8)​

Mathematics
1 answer:
pantera1 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Best estimate' doesn't happen automaticallly, because you have to define "best" in this context.  We could merely round all numbers and work with the results:  

For example, starting with the work inside parentheses, we have:

5 5/6 - (1 + 4) = 5 5/6 - 5.  We must round 5 5/6 up to 6.  Then the "best estimate' is 6 - 5, or just 1.

Question:

Which of the following expressions represents the distance between 1.7 and −1/2 on a number line?

Choose 1 answer: 

A.\ |1.7 - 1/2|

B.\ |1.7 -(-1/2)|

C. None of the above

Answer:

B.\ |1.7 -(-1/2)|

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Numbers: 1.7 and -1/2

Required

Determine the distance

To calculate the distance, we start by calculating the difference between the given numbers;

Difference = 1.7 - (-1/2)

Then, we calculate the distance;

<em>In this case, the distance is meant to be positive; So, we'll introduce the symbol for absolute value;</em>

Hence,

Distance = |Difference|

Substitute 1.7 - (-1/2) for Difference;

Distance = |1.7 - (-1/2)|

<em>Hence, the correct option is B</em>
