Question
Identify the fraction that can NOT be replaced with
when estimating?
Hint:
Fractions are referred to as the components of a whole in mathematics. A single object or a collection of objects might be entire. A piece or sector of any quantity is another name for the fraction. It is indicated by the sign "/," such as a/b. For instance, in the fraction 2/4, the lower part represents the denominator, and the top part the numerator.
We have given a fractional number and we have to identify the fraction that cannot be replaced with
.
The correct answer is: ![fraction numerator 2 over denominator 11 end fraction](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABwAAAAjCAYAAACHIWrsAAAACXBIWXMAAA7EAAAOxAGVKw4bAAAABGJhU0UAAAAXQ/cXWQAAAKNJREFUeNpjYCAeWAPxGiD+BMS/gPgCEEcz0BAcBOJIIOaB8rWA+ChUjG5AHogvMdAZ/KCnZZbQYKUL4ADik9DERHMgCMQbgNiNHpYpQS1ToYdlGkA8G4i56GGZOBCvAmIWeiWSLVAf0g38x4NHwSgY+FRIDTwKRgFtgBoQ10KbhNRQRxAsBuI0IpI1sepIyqPUVDdq4aiFoxYOYguJrUiJrnABd0BQhqNc30wAAABjdEVYdE1hdGhNTAA8bWF0aCB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMTk5OC9NYXRoL01hdGhNTCI+PG1mcmFjPjxtbj4yPC9tbj48bW4+MTE8L21uPjwvbWZyYWM+PC9tYXRoPhLui30AAAAASUVORK5CYII=)
In general, the whole can be any particular thing or value, and the fraction might be a portion of any quantity out of it. The top and bottom numbers of a fraction are explained by the fundamentals of fractions. Fractions are further broken down into various categories based on the characteristics of the numerator and denominator.
As follows:
- Proper fractions
- Improper fractions
- Mixed fractions
- Like fractions
- Unlike fractions
- Equivalent fractions
Estimating sums and differences of fractions to the nearest 1/2:
- Fractions < 1/4 are rounded down to 0
- Fractions ≥ 1/4 and ≤ 3/4 are rounded to 1/2
- Fractions > 3/4 are rounded up to 1
Here the fraction that we have given is
,
,
and
, we have to identify the fraction that cannot be replaced with 1.
So after looking at these numbers we can round them off as follows:
can be rounded to ![fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABIAAAAjCAYAAACZ6FpfAAAACXBIWXMAAA7EAAAOxAGVKw4bAAAABGJhU0UAAAAXQ/cXWQAAAJFJREFUeNpjYMAP1IC4FogvMFAIFgNxGhD/Z6ASGDVo1KBBYdB/LHgUDCbwn0w8CgYLsAbiNUD8CYh/QaujaHIMOgjEkUDMA+VrAfFRqBjFQB6IL1HLyz+oYYgl1HsUAQ4gPgmNBLKBIBBvAGI3SgxRghqiQokhGkA8G4i5KDFEHIhXATELpYG7BeoimhZyWAEAI3M1I31CbrEAAABidEVYdE1hdGhNTAA8bWF0aCB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMTk5OC9NYXRoL01hdGhNTCI+PG1mcmFjPjxtbj4xPC9tbj48bW4+MjwvbW4+PC9tZnJhYz48L21hdGg+ND6jrQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==)

can be rounded to 0.
So,
cannot be rounded to ![fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABIAAAAjCAYAAACZ6FpfAAAACXBIWXMAAA7EAAAOxAGVKw4bAAAABGJhU0UAAAAXQ/cXWQAAAJFJREFUeNpjYMAP1IC4FogvMFAIFgNxGhD/Z6ASGDVo1KBBYdB/LHgUDCbwn0w8CgYLsAbiNUD8CYh/QaujaHIMOgjEkUDMA+VrAfFRqBjFQB6IL1HLyz+oYYgl1HsUAQ4gPgmNBLKBIBBvAGI3SgxRghqiQokhGkA8G4i5KDFEHIhXATELpYG7BeoimhZyWAEAI3M1I31CbrEAAABidEVYdE1hdGhNTAA8bWF0aCB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMTk5OC9NYXRoL01hdGhNTCI+PG1mcmFjPjxtbj4xPC9tbj48bW4+MjwvbW4+PC9tZnJhYz48L21hdGg+ND6jrQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==)
The numerical numbers that make up a fraction of the whole are called fractions. A whole can be a single item or a collection of items. A fraction is represented as a/b, where a and b are the numerator and denominator, respectively. Here we were given a fractional number and we have to identify the fraction that cannot be replaced with 1/2, so, cannot be rounded to
