Answer:
The reasonable estimate for the problem is 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The problem -3/2 times (-5 1/4)
Now, convert the mixed fraction into improper.
[tex]\frac{-3}{2}\times \frac{-21}{4}[/tex]
Then, multiply the numerator with numerator and denominators with denominator.
[tex]\frac{63}{8}[/tex]
Whenever the same signs multiply the product are in positive.
Now, convert the resulting improper fraction into mixed.
[tex]7\frac{7}{8}[/tex].
Estimate value of 7 7/8 is 8.
Therefore, the reasonable estimate for the problem is 8.
