To estimate the equation \( \frac{7}{8} - \frac{6}{11} \), we can first convert the fractions to decimals or find a common denominator. However, for the purpose of estimation using the numbers provided, we can approximate \( \frac{7}{8} \) and \( \frac{6}{11} \).
-
Estimation of \( \frac{7}{8} \):
- \( \frac{7}{8} \) is very close to 1 (as \( \frac{7}{8} = 0.875 \)).
-
Estimation of \( \frac{6}{11} \):
- \( \frac{6}{11} \) is slightly less than \( \frac{1}{2} \) (as \( \frac{6}{11} \approx 0.545 \)).
So, for estimation:
- \( \frac{7}{8} \) can be approximated as 1,
- \( \frac{6}{11} \) can be approximated as 1/2.
Now, substitute to find: \[ \text{Estimated value} = 1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \]
Thus, the best estimation using the provided numbers for the equation \( \frac{7}{8} - \frac{6}{11} \) is:
- 1 in the first box (for \( \frac{7}{8} \))
- 1/2 in the second box (for \( \frac{6}{11} \))
The final approximation is 1/2.
