To estimate the value of 6×2–√, we first calculate 6×2 which is 12. Then, we subtract the square root of a number which is usually a smaller value. Therefore, the best estimate from the given choices would be 8.4.
To estimate the value of 6×2–√, we can first square 2.
2^2 = 4
Then, we multiply 6 by 4.
6 × 4 = 24
To find the square root, we can estimate it to be approximately between 4 and 5.
Therefore, the value of 6×2–√ is approximately 24–between 4 and 5.
From the choices given, the best estimate would be 6.4.
