Estimate the sum using the benchmarks 0, 1/2, and 1. 5/6 + 1/8 =
What is the least common multiple (LCM) of both 3 and 10?
The answer to your second question is 30.
To estimate the sum using the benchmarks 0, 1/2, and 1, you can compare each fraction to these benchmarks and round them accordingly.
First, let's compare 5/6 to the benchmarks:
- 5/6 is closest to 1 since it is greater than 1/2 but less than 1.
Next, let's compare 1/8 to the benchmarks:
- 1/8 is closest to 0 since it is less than 1/2.
Now, let's estimate the sum using these rounded benchmarks:
- 5/6 is rounded to 1.
- 1/8 is rounded to 0.
Therefore, the estimated sum of 5/6 + 1/8 is approximately 1 + 0 = 1.
