D - 1
My answer is A
whatt is it?
exactly @gretchen morgan.. they being selfish with the answers ..xD
To estimate the sum of two fractions, 14/16 and 1/5, using benchmark numbers, you can round each fraction to the nearest benchmark number. In this case, we can round 14/16 to 1 and 1/5 to 0.
Now, let's add the benchmark numbers: 1 + 0 = 1.
Therefore, the estimated sum of 14/16 + 1/5 is 1.
Based on your provided answer choices, the correct answer is D - 1.
