Which shows the most reasonable way to estimate 3 4/7 (-2 1/12) using compatible fractions

B). 3 1/2(-2) = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's evaluate the expression so as to be able to get the right estimate.

3 4/7 (-2 1/12)

=3 4/7 (-25/12)

= 25/7 * -25/12

= 25/7 * -25/12

= -625/84

= -7 37/84

Approximately it's equal to ,-7

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
