amy had homework for math, science, and history. She spent 1/3 of her time working on math and 1/4 of her time working on science. Question is Amy estimated that she spent 1/7of her time on both math and science homework. Without doing any calculations, determine whether or not Amy's estimate is accurate & explain why or why not.

It's Wrong Because 7 Isn't The GCF Between 3 & 4 Plus You Can't Add The Denominator If It's Not The Same Number

she is incorrect. the denominator, 7, is neither a multiple or factor of the denominators 3 and 4.
