Answer: 1

Explanation:

To find an estimate, you need to round your fractions. Let's start with 7/10. First let's look at the numerator, 7. 7 is a number greater than 5, so we'll round it to 10 and you keep your denominator. so now we have 10/10, or 1. Then round 1/5. 1/5 is lower than 5, so we'll round it to 0. Now, for the final step add them. 1 + 0 = 1, so 1 is the answer

Answer:

1

Explanation:

7+10+1/5

7/10 = 0.7

1/5 = 0.2

0.7+0.2=0.9

Therefore it would be closest to 1.
