oobleck, i'm reporting you! Stop being so rude!
To estimate the sum of three-fifths and the fraction three over seventeen, we can use benchmarks.
First, let's find benchmarks that these fractions fall between.
For three-fifths, we can use the benchmark fractions 1/2 and 1. Three-fifths is bigger than 1/2 but smaller than 1.
Next, for three over seventeen, we can use the benchmark fractions 1/8 and 1/4. Three over seventeen is bigger than 1/8 but smaller than 1/4.
Now, let's estimate the sum. Since three-fifths is closer to 1 than 1/2, we can round it up to 1. Similarly, three over seventeen is closer to 1/4 than 1/8, so we can round it down to 1/4.
Now, we can add these rounded fractions.
1 + 1/4 = 4/4 + 1/4 = 5/4
Therefore, the estimated sum of three-fifths and three over seventeen is 5/4.
why do you not just type your fractions? So annoying!
1+0 = 1
