Correct Answer :

Option B

(7 × 4) / 9

Solution :

The correct answer is Option 2: (7 × 4) / 9.


To find the best approximation of the given expression, we round each number to its nearest integer:

1. 7.1 is closest to 7.

2. 3.85 is closest to 4.

3. 9.09 is closest to 9.


Substituting these rounded values into the original expression 7.1×3.859.09, we get:

7×49


Therefore, the best approximation is (7 × 4) / 9.
