Estimate the following product
2 1/5 * 4 5/6
a. 8
b. 10
c. 15
d. 18
answer: c

Answer 1

The first two are correct.

there has to be a misprint in the third, since according to your question you are appr. doing 1/5 * 5 which is 1

Answer 2

The second and third are wrong. There is no correct answer for the second.

2/3 of 3/4 is 1/2

Answer 3

I believe the problem in the third one is:

2 1/5 * 4 5/6

C is not the correct answer.

Answer 4

Ms. Sue read it correctly, I don't know how I missed that 2

so it would be appr. 2*5 which would be 10

Answer 5

the correct answer: B
