Given:
⅔
1/6
Estimate the number.
Solution:
In order to estimate the result of the number, we can simply divide. In dividing a number, we must first identify the dividend and the divisor. In the given case, the dividend is 2 and 1, and it is divided by 3 and 6which is the divisor. If the answer or quotient is a whole number, this means that both numbers are factors of one another, if not, then the quotient will have a remainder or decimal.
⅔ = 0.67
1/6 = 0.17
The answers are repeating hence we've rounded the numbers to the nearest hundredths to have a concise estimation.
Final answer:
⅔ = 0.67
1/6 = 0.17
