Gillian's reasoning about the estimation is correct

How to critique Gillian's reasoning

From the complete question, the number of students in the class is 6, and they are to pick [tex]2\frac 12[/tex] quarts of raspberries each

Also from the complete question, they have [tex]19\frac 14[/tex] quarts of raspberry

When [tex]19\frac 14[/tex] is divided by [tex]2\frac 12[/tex], we have:

[tex]19\frac 14 \div 2\frac 12 = 7\frac 7{10}\\[/tex]

[tex]7\frac 7{10}[/tex] is greater than 7 as in 7 * 3 = 21

[tex]2\frac 12[/tex] is less than 3 as in 7 * 3 = 21

[tex]19\frac 14[/tex] is less than 21 as in 7 * 3 = 21

Hence, Gillian's reasoning about the estimation is correct.

This is so because the result of the actual product is less than 21 i.e. [tex]19\frac 14[/tex] is less than 21
