A circular mat with diameter 1.4 inches is placed on a square tabletop, each of whose sides is 4 inches long. Which of the following is closest to the fraction of the tabletop covered by the mat? Choose the most appropriate option:
A) 3/8
B) 7/8
C) 1/5
D) 3/7
E) 7/9
SO we are looking for the area of the cloth over the area of the table   3/8rea of the Cloth = (pi)(r)^2 which is about (22/7)(1.4)(1.4)   3/8rea of the Table = (4)(4)   So the quick way to estimate is looking at the fraction like this:6.16/16 nearest to 3/8   3/8nswer: 3/8
