@Donblue22

Answer 26

Well, rounding to the nearest 1/2, or \(0.5\) of a decimal place, \(4 +\frac{7}{8} \approx 4.875\) so rounding up to the nearest 1/2 would be \(\approx 5\)

then you have \(\dfrac{6}{11} \approx 0.54545... =0.5\) , the nearest 1/2.

Answer 27

Multiplying these together, you get the total approximation, which is\[5 \cdot 0.5 = \dfrac{5}{2}\]Change that to a mixed number, and you will have your answer :)
