Answer:
Since 5 9/16 is closest to 6, and 4 1/8 is closest to the benchmark 4. The total of the benchmark is 10. So, Parker's estimate is (I'm assuming the dropdown had "wrong" as an option)
Step-by-step explanation:
Parker assumed that Mr.Thompson used about nine pounds of pancake mix. Parker was fairly close but just one off. If you were to solve this without having to use a whole number for an estimate. The answer would be 9 11/16, instead of 10. Anyways, I should explain why 5 9/16 is round to 6. It's rounded to six as a whole number because 9/16 is over half of 16. Half of 16 is "8".So anything that is 8/16 and up is automatically round to the number ahead (that's whole).
I hope this helps!!!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we are going to apply the rule of "Square of the difference". The rule is as given below
---------(A)
Now we have our original polynomial as
Which can be re written as
---------------(B)
Hence comparing it with (A)
Applying the rule on (B)
Hence our answer is
5x+4<54
subtract 4 from both sides
5x<50
divide both sides by 5
x<10
