Question

Use benchmarks to estimate the sum, difference, or product.
8 8/9 - 5 1/11
A.4
B.5
C.14
D.11
I don't really understand this I'm not the brightest when it come to math.
Can someone please help me figure it out?

Round the two numbers to the closest whole number.
8 8/9 = ?
5 1/11 = ?

Subtract .

What do you get?
8 8/9 rounded would be 9
5 1/11 rounded would be 5
And subtracted it would be 4
Is this right?
