Answer=5/8

An estimation of 5/8*9/10 would be about 5/8 ...

heres why ...

when we estimate, we round numbers with up or down until we reach a problem that we can basically solve in our head. if you round 9/10 up to 1 then the problem becomes:

5/8*1

since we know that any number times 1 is itself we know that

5/8*1=5/8
