Use benchmarks to estimate each sum.

Example

Question 13.
9$$\frac{6}{7}$$ + 7$$\frac{5}{12}$$
17$$\frac{1}{2}$$
Explanation:
$$\frac{6}{7}$$ is near to the benchmark 1
$$\frac{5}{12}$$ is near to the bench mark $$\frac{1}{2}$$
9 + 1 = 10
10 + 7 $$\frac{1}{2}$$
17$$\frac{1}{2}$$

Question 14.
4$$\frac{7}{12}$$ + 10$$\frac{1}{9}$$
14 $$\frac{1}{2}$$
$$\frac{7}{12}$$ is near to the benchmark $$\frac{1}{2}$$
$$\frac{1}{12}$$ is near to the bench mark 0
4$$\frac{1}{2}$$ + 10
= 14 $$\frac{1}{2}$$
