Estimate tim grew 4,799 carrots and nancy grew 3,699 carrots this year. approximately how many carrots did they grow together?

Remark

You must do this without the use of a calculator. If you give 8498 which is what you get using a calculator, I would guess that you would be marked wrong.

If you can add 48 + 37 in your head, that would be a pretty good estimate.

Those two numbers added together give 85, so the answer to the estimate would be 8500. That's what I would expect to see if I asked the question.

If you can't do that in your head, try 5 + 4 which gives you 9. So you would give 5000 + 4000 as your estimate which is 9000. That also would be acceptable if I gave out the question.

the answer would be 1 1/72

step-by-step explanation:

you can rewrite the equation by separating the parts and then solving individually:

10-9=1

1/8 - 1/9=

find l c d and then combine:

1 1/72
