Answer:
The best estimated value of the expression is negative 3
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the best estimate for the value of the expression? (StartFraction 34 over 8 EndFraction minus StartFraction 16 over 3 EndFraction) minus StartFraction 14 over 9 EndFraction
Solution
(34 / 8) - (16 / 3) - (14 / 9)
= 34/8 - 16/3 - 14/9
Find the sum
= 306 - 384 - 112 / 72
= -190 / 72
= -2 46 / 72
= -2 23 / 36
= -2.6389
Approximately -3
The best estimated value of the expression is negative 3
