What is the best estimation of the equation 7/8−6/11 ? Drag the numbers into the boxes. Numbers may be used once, twice, or not at all.

1 answer

To find the best estimation of the equation \( \frac{7}{8} - \frac{6}{11} \), we can round the fractions to make the subtraction easier.

  1. Estimate \( \frac{7}{8} \): This fraction is very close to 1. You can round it to 1.

  2. Estimate \( \frac{6}{11} \): This fraction is approximately \( 0.545 \) or can be rounded to \( \frac{1}{2} \) (which is \( 0.5 \)).

Now, subtract these rounded values:

\[ 1 - \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \]

So, the best estimation for \( \frac{7}{8} - \frac{6}{11} \) is approximately \( 0.5 \).

To drag the numbers into boxes, you would use:

  • 1 for \( \frac{7}{8} \)
  • 0.5 for \( \frac{6}{11} \) (or choose the closest estimate for rounding).
