Will medal!!!!!! Estimate by first rounding each number to the nearest integer. 1 7/9 - 6 2/11 A. –5 B. –4 C. 4 D. 5 @iGreen @apoorvk @iambatman @AnswerMyQuestions

OpenStudy (igreen):

7/9 is approximately 0.78 2/11 is approximately 0.18 So do we round up or down with 7/9?

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

up

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, So 1 7/9 rounds to 2. What about 2/11?

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

up? :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the fraction is 1/2 or greater round up If it is less than 1/2 round down So if you had\[3\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\] You would round to 3 because 1/2 is less than 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

***Becaus 1/4 is less than 1/2

OpenStudy (igreen):

No.. 0.18 If the number after the decimal place is 5 or more, we round up. If it is 4 or less we round down. So do we round up or down?

@TheEdwardsFamily

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

yea im here just trying to think

OpenStudy (igreen):

What's the number after the decimal place(period) 0.18

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

1

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, and is that 5 or more or is it 4 or less?

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

4 or less

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so we round down to 0. So -6 2/11 rounds down to -6. Now subtract 2 - 6

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

thts -4

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, that's our answer.

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):
