how do you do this
Round each fraction to help you estimate the solution for the following equation:
nine tenths minus eight tenths equals
But on my quiz that's not an option
thats not how it works
To round each fraction, you need to examine the numerator (the number on the top) and the denominator (the number on the bottom) of each fraction separately.
In this case, the first fraction is nine tenths and the second fraction is eight tenths. To round each fraction, consider the numerator:
- For the first fraction, nine, round it to the nearest whole number, which is 9.
- For the second fraction, eight, also round it to the nearest whole number, which is 8.
Now, consider the denominator:
- The denominator for both fractions is ten. Since ten is already a whole number, there is no need to round it.
After rounding the numerator and leaving the denominator as it is, you get the following rounded fractions:
- The first fraction becomes 9/10.
- The second fraction becomes 8/10.
Now, you can solve the equation using the rounded fractions:
9/10 minus 8/10 equals (9-8)/10, which gives you 1/10.
Therefore, rounding each fraction, the equation "nine tenths minus eight tenths" is estimated to be equal to one-tenth, or 1/10.
nine tenths minus eight tenths equals
9/10 - 8/10 =
my wild "estimation" would be 1/10
