Question

what is the estimate for the expression? $\frac{1}{8}$ + $\frac{2}{5}$ (1 point)
○ 1/2
○ 1
○ 0
○ 2

Explanation:

Step1: Estimate each fraction

$\frac{1}{8}$ is close to $0$ (since $\frac{1}{8}=0.125$), and $\frac{2}{5} = 0.4$, which is close to $0.5$.

Step2: Add the estimated values

Adding the estimated values: $0 + 0.5 = 0.5$, which is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer:

1/2
