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.

A can holds 2 liters of paint. How many cans can we fill with 11 liters of paint?
Zanzabum

Answer:

5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Each can holds 2 liters of paint. There is 11 liters of paint. The question is asking you to figure out how many cans of paint you can fill with 11 liters of paint. We can divide 11 by 2 to get the answer. 11÷2=5.5. The reason this works is because we are dividing the total amount of paint by how much each can will hold. 5.5 can also be written as "five and a half". So, the 11 liters of paint will fill 5.5 cans. Hope this helps!
