Answer 1

To estimate \( 3 \times \pi \), we can use an approximate value for \( \pi \), which is about 3.14.

Calculating: \[ 3 \times \pi \approx 3 \times 3.14 = 9.42 \]

Now, let's examine the given options to find the closest one to 9.42.

1. 6 4/7 = 6.57
2. 6 3/7 = 6.43
3. 9 1/7 = 9.14
4. 9 3/7 = 9.43

The value \( 9 3/7 \) is approximately 9.43, which is very close to our estimate of 9.42.

Therefore, the best estimate for \( 3 \times \pi \) is:

9 3/7.
