  1. since it is to estimate, you can round off to the nearest whole number

    18 / 6 = 3


  2. best choice is to convert the fractions to decimals first.

    17 + (11/12) = 17 +.9167 =19.9167

    6 +(1/10) = 6 +.1 =6.1

    then 19.9167/6.1 =2.9372

    2.9372 =1075/366

  3. as an estimate:

    17 11/12 is about 18

    6 1/10 is about 6

    18/6 is 3-- your estimate for the quotient

    this overestimates the answer, which will actually be a little bit less than 3 since 18 is too big, and 6 is too small

  4. What is the full question that is on the page?

  5. The exact answer is 1075/366.  That's approximately 2.1 if you're looking for an estimate.
