Question

estimate the sum.
\\(\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{3}\\)
less than \\(\frac{1}{2}\\) greater than \\(\frac{1}{2}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Compare $\frac{2}{3}$ to $\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{2}{3} \approx 0.67$, $\frac{1}{2}=0.5$, so $\frac{2}{3} > \frac{1}{2}$

Step2: Add positive fraction to $\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{1}{4}$ is positive, so $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{3} > \frac{2}{3} > \frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

Greater than $\frac{1}{2}$
