Question

1/8 + 1/4 estimate the sum or difference

Answer 1

When estimating you need to round up or down to find something close to the real answer. Here we would round 1/8 down to 0 and 1/4 down to 0. So 0+0=0.

Your estimated answer is 0

The real answer is 3/8 so 0 is close and that is the point in estimating
