Which description most accurately explains the movements to the left or right (in order) on a number line for the calculation 14/5 +5/4?
A)A movement of almost 3 to the left and a movement of approximately 1 to the left
B)A movement of approximately 1 to the right and a movement of almost 3 to the right
C)A movement of approximately 1 to the left and a movement of almost 3 to the right
D)A movement of almost 3 to the right and a movement of approximately 1 to the right
The calculation 14/5 + 5/4 can be approximated as 2.8 + 1.25.
To simplify the calculation further, we can round the numbers to the nearest whole number and calculate 3 + 1, which equals 4.
Therefore, the movements to the left or right on a number line can be described as "a movement of approximately 1 to the left and a movement of almost 3 to the right."
Therefore, the correct description is C) A movement of approximately 1 to the left and a movement of almost 3 to the right.
