Which one of the following is the best approximation of ?
Correct Answer :
Solution :
The correct option is .
To find the best approximation of the given expression, we round each decimal number in the fraction to its nearest whole number (integer):
1. In the numerator, 7.11 is closest to 7 because the first decimal digit (1) is less than 5.
2. Also in the numerator, 3.85 is closest to 4 because the first decimal digit (8) is greater than or equal to 5.
3. In the denominator, 9.09 is closest to 9 because the first decimal digit (0) is less than 5.
Substituting these rounded whole numbers back into the original expression:
Therefore, the best approximation expression is .
