Question

Responses

917
9 and 1 seventh

937
9 and 3 sevenths

647
6 and 4 sevenths

637

Answer 1

To estimate \( 3 \times \pi \), we can use the fact that \( \pi \) is approximately \( 3.14 \).

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

Now we can compare this with the given options:

1. 917
2. 9 and 1 seventh (which is approximately 9.14)
3. 937
4. 9 and 3 sevenths (which is approximately 9.43)
5. 647
6. 6 and 4 sevenths (which is approximately 6.57)
7. 637

The best estimate for \( 3 \times \pi \approx 9.42 \) is 9 and 3 sevenths (since it is the closest approximation).

So the correct response is: 9 and 3 sevenths.
