Please show work so she can learn.

Answer 1

ben and frank ate approximatey 3 pies. (2 whole pies and 1/3 of another pie--2 1/3)

ben :2/3
frank:1 2/3
2/3+2/3= 4/3 +1= 1 4/3(reduced to 2 1/3)

Answer 2

Round up the numbers for the approximate number of pies eaten.

Since 2/3 is rounded up to 1 - Ben ate 1
Since 1 2/3 is rounded up to 2 - Frank ate 2

Total estimate is 3 cherry pies

Now math would say that 2/3 + 1 2/3 = 2/3 + 3/3 + 2/3
Add the top row, which means that the result is 7/3
Actual amount of pies eaten is 2 1/3 pies (from 7/3)

Answer 3

Ben ate 2/3 pie,which is almost 1, Frank ate 1 and 2/3, which is almost 2, so estimate 3 pies eaten.

Actual pies eaten, Ben ate 2/3, Frank ate 1 2/3 pies, which is the same as 3/3 + 2/3 = 5/3 for Frank, so total pies eaten are 2/3 + 5/3 = 7/3 = 21/3 pies

Answer 4

2/3 + 2/3 + 3/3

7/3

2 and 1/3 of cherry pies

Answer 5

1. 2 1/3
2. 2 1/3

1 2/3 + 2/3 = 1 4/3. 4/3= 1 1/3. 1 + 1 1/3 = 2 1/3.
