15 answers

so do I
just curious, why are A and D the same?
Oh it was supposed to be the other way. Whoops
I don't think the answer is given in your choices.

I'd estimate the sum to be 11
You know, Ms Sue is right. If we round up the values to the next integer, our estimate will be greater than the actual value.
(B) is now my choice.

That's my answer, and I'm sticking to it!
actual < estimate

As shown, the correct choice is not given.

Gotta stop hitting the Return key till I'm sure my writing reflects my thinking.
answer is b
i chose B
the answer in me is A
I choose the one the one that is the estimated > actual. For some reason I did it because the real answer is 10 8/12, but the estimated answer is 11. So, that's why I chose the one that is estimated > actual.
