Answer:

If your saying estimate this number in a decimal without calculators I think I might be able to help as illustrated below:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 5/6 shows that the whole number will be a 2. The 5/6 is a decimal below one as it is not one whole fraction. This means that we have to estimate the value of 5/6 and add that value to the number 2. 1/3 is a common fraction that is equal to about 0.33. This is because 0.33 + 0.33 + 0.33 is almost 1, which means 1/3 of one is indeed equal to 0.33.

<u>This means we divide 0.33 by 2, because that would be equal to (1/3)/(2), or 1/6. </u>0.33/2 seems like it would be 16.5. 16.5 * 5, as in 5/6, would be 82.5.

I would then say that the estimate of 2 5/6 is 2.83.

See, please, suggested decision:
When the line intersects the xy-plane, then parameter z=0, when does the xz - y=0 and when does yz, x=0. All the details are in attachment.
If it's possible, check arithmetic part.
