Q. Which is the most accurate way to estimate 33%33\% of 1717?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 13×20\frac{1}{3} \times 20\newline(B) 12×20\frac{1}{2} \times 20\newline(C) 13×18\frac{1}{3} \times 18\newline(D) 12×18\frac{1}{2} \times 18
  1. Understand Problem: Step 11: Understand the problem and simplify the percentage. 33%33\% is approximately 13\frac{1}{3}, so we need to find which option best estimates 13\frac{1}{3} of 1717.
  2. Evaluate Choices: Step 22: Evaluate each choice.\newline(A) 13×20=6.67\frac{1}{3} \times 20 = 6.67\newline(B) 12×20=10\frac{1}{2} \times 20 = 10\newline(C) 13×18=6\frac{1}{3} \times 18 = 6\newline(D) 12×18=9\frac{1}{2} \times 18 = 9
  3. Compare Results: Step 33: Compare the results with the actual value.\newline13\frac{1}{3} of 1717 is about 5.675.67. Comparing this with the results from Step 22, option (C) 13×18=6\frac{1}{3} \times 18 = 6 is the closest.
