Answer 1

2/5 hour is closest to 0 1/2 hours, 5/8 hour is closest to 1/2 hour. Therefore, the best estimate for the total time Maria spent with her sister is close to 1 hour

Explanation:

We can represent the time Maria spends playing the game as 0.4, since 2/5 as a fraction is 0.4. This is closer to 1/2, which is 0.5 then it is to 0, because 4 is closer to 5 then 0. Then, we can represent the time Maria reads the book as 0.625, which is closer to 1/2 then it is to 1. Now we can add the estimated times.
`1/2+1/2=1` hour
