Question

Which is the most accurate way to estimate 66% of 46?

Answer 1

Answer:

30 Don't use your calculator.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an estimation question, so you have to throw your calculator out of your reach.

You have to know that 66% is nearly 2/3 So the correct answer cannot be B or C

It must be A or D.

The problem is that 3 doesn't go into 46 so you have to change it to something that is divisible by 3. Of the numbers given, the best one is 45

2/3 * 45 = 2 * 15 = 30

How close is that (remember you have to give 30 as your answer)?

The actual answer is 30.36 which makes your estimate very good.
