What are the rules to Estimating products and quotients of mixed numbers?

Estimating sumsUse rounded numbers to estimate sums.Example 1Give an estimate for the sum of 19.61 and 5.07 by rounding to the nearest tenth.Round each number to the nearest tenth.Example 2Estimate the sum of 19.61 + 5.07 by rounding to the nearest whole number.Round each number to a whole number.Estimating differencesUse rounded numbers to estimate differences.Example 3Give an estimate for the difference of 12.356 - 5.281 by rounding to the nearest whole number.Round each number to the nearest whole number.Now subtract.So 12.356 - 5.281 ≈ 7.Estimating productsUse rounded numbers to estimate products.Example 4Estimate the product of 4.7 × 5.9 by rounding to the nearest whole number.Round each number to a whole number.So 4.7 × 5.9 ≈ 30.Again, in decimals, as in whole numbers, if both multipliers end in .5, or are halfway numbers, rounding one number up and one number down will give you a better estimate of the product.Example 5Estimate the product of 7.5 × 8.5 by rounding to the nearest whole number.You can also round the first number down and the second number up and get this estimate.In either case, your approximation will be closer than it would be if you rounded both numbers up, which is the standard rule.Estimating quotientsUse rounded numbers to estimate quotients.Example 6Estimate the quotient of 27.49 ÷ 3.12 by rounding to the nearest whole number.Round each number to the nearest whole number.


How do you add mixed numbers with different denominators?

First convert them t top-heavy fractions. Treat these as you would ordinary fractions: find common denominator and so on. At the end, convert the top heave fraction back to a mixed fraction.

How would you add two mixed numbers that contain unlike fractions?

you would convert the mixed numbers into fractions where the top number is greater than the bottom number, then multiply both the numerator and the denominator by a number that makes the denominators the same.
