B.overestimate


C.close estimate

Answer 1

So, looking at 3 6/7, would you say this value is close to 4?

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

And now for 1 1/9, would you say that's reasonably close to 1?

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

Without knowing the exact margins of error we can't give a definite answer, but I'd say this is a close estimate. 4 + 1 seems reasonable to me.
