Estimate the difference: 3 2/5 - 5/8

3

Step-by-step explanation: Half of 5 is 2.5 so 3 2/5 will be estimated to a 3 1/2 and 5/8 is very close to 4 which is half of 8. so 5/8 will be estimated to 1/2! Both of them subtracted is gonna be 3 because 1/2 - 1/2 is 0!

Have a great day!

step-by-step explanation:

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
