The total number of pencils is 2,160. When estimating to the nearest hundredth one gets 2,200, which is an underestimate. 

The advantage of underestimating is that your answer is more accurate than an overestimate.

Find the next three terms in the sequence below.
fomenos

Answer: 13/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Based upon the previous sequence.

1.there is a constant decrease of two in the numerator

2. There is a constant increase of one in the denominator

to find the fourth number in the sequence I used One of the numbers from the previous to determine the answer.

17/4 — —> then I followed the pattern and determine what fraction 3 was       .   .                 before it was converted into a whole number.

which would be 15/5 —> Now considering equations that are written like this also mean division, because in this case division is possible the answer would be 3, which would make the whole number 3 instead of 15/3. considering it was an improper fraction.

____________________________________________________________

Now If 15/5 wasn’t converted into 3, The answer to the  sequence would be 13/6. If you follow the pattern like I said before there is a certain amount of increase and decrease so 13/6 will be your answer. The only reason is not a whole number because 13 can’t be divided by six to get a whole number.
