OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's an estimate, so use mental math and round.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for NO help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I helped. "helping" is not giving the answer. It's helping you see the path that leads to the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an other words. Ur work, ur answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ok i am really mad at math so i geuss i am going to get an big FAT F- of my test!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't get mad at me o.o u shoud at least try. here ill help you understand. 2+4 is what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup. And 5/11 and 7/8 are big numbers. True or False.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Anything 5 and over u round up. And since 7/8 is not half of 5/11 it cant be answer A. So 6 1/2 is out of the picture. And D is to high. and again. There is no halves in the picture. So C. isn't the answer. So what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

EXACTLY!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):
