1. Problem Description

The problem asks to estimate the mixed number 46114\frac{6}{11} using the benchmarks 00, 12\frac{1}{2}, and 11 to estimate the fractional part.

2. Solution Steps

We want to estimate the fraction 611\frac{6}{11} using the benchmarks 00, 12\frac{1}{2}, and 11.
First, we find half of the denominator:
12×11=5.5\frac{1}{2} \times 11 = 5.5
Now, we compare the numerator (6) with 5.

5. Since $6 > 5.5$, the fraction $\frac{6}{11}$ is greater than $\frac{1}{2}$.

Next, we compare the fraction 611\frac{6}{11} with

1. Since $6 < 11$, the fraction $\frac{6}{11}$ is less than

1. Since 6 is close to 5.5 (half of 11) and closer to 11 than to 0, we can estimate $\frac{6}{11}$ to be closer to $\frac{1}{2}$ than to $0$, but still closer to $\frac{1}{2}$ than to

1.
Therefore, we estimate 611\frac{6}{11} to be approximately 12\frac{1}{2}.
So, the mixed number 46114\frac{6}{11} is approximately 4+12=4124 + \frac{1}{2} = 4\frac{1}{2}.

3. Final Answer

4124\frac{1}{2}
