Estimate by first rounding each number to the nearest integer. 4 1/9 + 2 2/13 A. –7 B. –6 C. 6 D. 7
4 + 2 = ?
To estimate the sum of 4 1/9 and 2 2/13, we can first round each number to the nearest integer.
4 1/9 is approximately equal to 4, since 1/9 is less than 1/2, so we round down.
2 2/13 is approximately equal to 2, since 2/13 is also less than 1/2, so we round down.
Therefore, the estimated sum of these two numbers is 4 + 2 = 6.
So, the answer is C. 6.
