To estimate the value of \( 6 \times 2 - \sqrt{} \), let's break down the expression step by step.
-
Calculate \( 6 \times 2 \): \[ 6 \times 2 = 12 \]
-
Now we have \( 12 - \sqrt{} \), but without a specific value for the square root, we'll estimate \( \sqrt{} \approx 2.5 \) (for √6 since we didn't have a specific number).
-
Thus, let's proceed to estimate \( 12 - 2.5 \): \[ 12 - 2.5 = 9.5 \]
Now we can compare this estimate to the given options:
- A) 7.1
- B) 8.4
- C) 6.4
- D) 9.8
The best estimate compared to our calculation \( 9.5 \) is D) 9.8.
