Vocaloid:

hint: we can add the 1/3 and the 2/3 to get...?

pandas:

1.

Vocaloid:

good we can round 1 5/8 down to 1 1/2

Vocaloid:

and the 1 7/8 up to 2

Vocaloid:

so now we simply have: 1 + (1 and a half) + 2 + (1 and a half) = ?

pandas:

6?

Vocaloid:

hm that's correct but it doesn't match with the answers

pandas:

Yeah...

Vocaloid:

if we try rounding up we get closer to 7

Vocaloid:

ok, so it seems like they want you to round to the nearest whole number instead of the nearest 1/2

Vocaloid:

0 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 7 so A

pandas:

I think it is B...

Vocaloid:

why do you think so? just curious

pandas:

Because, 1/3 = 0 , 1 5/8 = 2 , 2/3 = 0 , 1 7/8 = 2, 1 1/2 = 2 that = 6 = 5 rounded, then, 5* 4 = 20 so, 5 and 20 ...

Vocaloid:

if this is the rounding method you were taught, then yes, please go with B
