Answer

Estimate 6 Exact $5 \frac{19}{24}$

Work Step by Step

Estimate 19 - 6 - 7 = 13 - 7 = 6 Exact $18 \frac{3}{4} - 5 \frac{5}{8} - 7 \frac{1}{3}$ = $18 \frac{6}{8} - 5 \frac{5}{8} - 7 \frac{1}{3}$ = $13 \frac{1}{8} - 7 \frac{1}{3}$ = $13 \frac{3}{24} - 7 \frac{8}{24}$ = $12 \frac{27}{24} - 7 \frac{8}{24}$ = $5 \frac{19}{24}$
