A responsible estimate would be 14. 
You estimate each of the mixed numbers to the nearest whole number:
4 1/8=4 because 1/8 is less than 1/2 so the number stays the same
3 2/3=4 because 2/3 is grater than 1/2
5 1/2 =6 because 1/2 is equal to 1/2 which means you estimate up.
So 4+4+6=14

First, mentally add the whole numbers.
4+3+5=12
Now, look at the fractions. 1/8, 2/3, and 1/2.
2/3 is bigger than 1/2, so you can add in another whole number.
12+1=13
1/8 is tiny, and won't add a whole lot to the mix, so just leave that.
A reasonable estimate would be 13 1/8

Name the property of real numbers illustrated by the equation.
Julli [10]

Answer:

Distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states a(b+c)=a*b+a*c. This property states that when you multiply more than one thing, you must be sure to multiply everything. When you order fast food combos, you do the distribution property to receive the correct order.

If I order 3 Happy Meals, then I will receive

3(hamburgers +fries + drinks +toys)

3 hamburgers+3 fries+3 drinks+3 toys.

If I don't, then I have broken the distribution property.
