Answer 1

look at the fractions, and how close they are to being whole numbers

Answer 2

\[10\frac{1}{9} +5\frac{14}{15}\]You want to make this an improper fraction first. \[\frac{(10\cdot 9)+1}{9} +\frac{(5 \cdot 15)+14}{15}\]Now find a common denominator.

Answer 3

for example, let's take \(\Huge\frac{1}{9}\)

1/9 is not a very big question, and is closer to 0 on a number line than 1.

@Jhannybean do they really need to do this work? This is an estimation problem, we're not looking for exact values

Answer 4

@justuu you there? :)

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Awesome. so for the second fraction, \(\Huge\frac{14}{15}\) , is that closer to 1 or closer to 0?

Answer 7

@justuu tell me what you think

Answer 8

14 is closer to 15?
