Answer
estimated = 2*4= 8
exact= 7$\frac{17}{18}$
Work Step by Step
1$\frac{5}{6}$ * 4$\frac{1}{3}$
Estimate the answer by rounding the mixed numbers
1$\frac{5}{6}$ round to 2 and 4$\frac{1}{3}$ round to 4
2 * 4 = 8
To find the exact answer, change each mixed number to an improper fraction.
1$\frac{5}{6}$ = $\frac{11}{6}$
4$\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{13}{3}$
Now multiply,
$\frac{11}{6}$ * $\frac{13}{3}$= $\frac{143}{18}$ = 7$\frac{17}{18}$
The exact answer is 7$\frac{17}{18}$
The exact answer is reasonable
