Question

If you use $99.00÷11 to estimate $98.69 ÷ 11, is $9.00 greater than or less than the exact answer? Explain and please don't say because the answer is ___ and that's greater than ___ I need real explanation

Answer 1

First, solve the quotient of the exact value.

$98.69 ÷ 11 ≈ $8.97 (rounded to the nearest 100th place)

$8.97 is pretty close to $9.00, but it is still smaller by about $0.3. So $9.00 is greater than the exact answer by about $0.3.

Is this answer explained enough? I hope i helped.. ^^
