Question

Thomas thinks that 3 7/8 + 2 11/12 is pretty close to 5, but Lorinda thinks it is closer to 6. Todd disagrees with both of them and thinks it's closer to 7. What do you think? why? DO NOT evaluate this, just estimate to find who is correct.

Answer 1

Todd is right

Explanation:

if 3+2 is 5, and adding the two fractions would add to about 2, then since 5+2 is 7, Todd is right.
