Simone measures the width of one cardboard strip as 1/2 yd. A second cardboard strip measures 5/6 yd in width. Estimate the combined width of the cardboard strips.
About 1 1/2 yd I’m pretty sure
Yes, about 1 1/2 yd.

You wanted estimate the combined width.

You don't want an exact answer.

The combined width = 1 / 2 + 5 / 6

5 / 6 is close to 1

The combined width should be close to 1 / 2 + 1 = 1 1/2 yd
