a certain fish can swim 5 3/4 times faster than a person. if a person can 6 1/7, how fast can the fish swim? estimate the answer. then find the exact answer

Respuesta :

Answer:  Estimate: 36  ? units ? miles per hour ? feet per second?

Exact: 35.32142857  but if you are supposed to use significant digits, 35.32 is probably good.

Step-by-step explanation: For the estimate, round off the fractions to whole numbers, so multiply 6 x 6 to get 36

For exact I converted the mixed numbers to improper fractions, 5 3/4 = 23/4  and 6 1/7 = 43/7. Then multiplied the numerators 23 x 43= 989.  And denominators, 4x7=28.  

Divide numerator by denominator  989/28= 35.321428571
