To provide accurate estimates for each expression, we'll look at them one by one.

  1. Estimate for 18 + 25:

    • This can be rounded as:
      • 18 is close to 20
      • 25 is close to 30
    • Therefore, an estimate for 18 + 25 is about 50.
  2. Estimate for the sum of fractions 1/8 and 2/5:

    • Convert the fractions to decimal for convenience:
      • 1/8 ≈ 0.125
      • 2/5 = 0.4
    • Therefore, an estimate for 1/8 + 2/5 is about 0.5 (0.125 + 0.4 ≈ 0.525 rounds to 0.5).
  3. Estimate for 1314 - 110:

    • This can be rounded as:
      • 1314 is close to 1300
      • 110 is close to 100
    • Therefore, an estimate for 1314 - 110 is about 1200 (1300 - 100 = 1200).
  4. Estimate for the difference of fractions 13/14 and 1/10:

    • As decimals:
      • 13/14 ≈ 0.9286
      • 1/10 = 0.1
    • Therefore, an estimate for 13/14 - 1/10 is roughly 0.8 (0.9286 - 0.1 = 0.8286 rounds to 0.8).
  5. Estimate for the sum of fractions 1/12 and 1/20:

    • As decimals:
      • 1/12 ≈ 0.0833
      • 1/20 = 0.05
    • Therefore, an estimate for 1/12 + 1/20 is about 0.13 (0.0833 + 0.05 ≈ 0.1333 rounds to 0.13).

So the final estimates are:

  • 18 + 25: 50
  • 1/8 + 2/5: 0.5
  • 1314 - 110: 1200
  • 13/14 - 1/10: 0.8
  • 1/12 + 1/20: 0.13
