Answer 6

Notice which numbers he is using for the estimate. He is using 1 1/2 instead of 1 3/7. Is 1 1/2 greater than or less than 1 1/2? Then look at the second number he is using. He is using 6 instead of 5 4/5. Is 6 greater than or less than 5 4/5?

Answer 7

greater??

Answer 9

If he simplifies 1 3/7 to 1 1/2 and 5 4/5 to 6 then he would be overestimating, because 1 1/2 is greater than 1 3/7 and 6 is greater than 5 4/5
