    Megan and her mom planted a vegetable garden this summer. They noticed animals getting into the garden so they decided to put fencing around the perimeter of the garden. The garden is a rectangular shape. Megan's mom told her that the length of the garden is  5 1 6  feet and the width of the garden is  7 7 8  feet. The fencing is $6 a foot. How can Megan approximate the perimeter of the garden in  order  to get a quick estimate of how much the fencing will cost?
    ::梅根和她的妈妈今年夏天种植了一个蔬菜花园,他们注意到动物进入花园,因此决定在花园四周设置栅栏,花园是长方形的。梅根的妈妈告诉她,花园长516英尺,花园宽778英尺。栅栏是6美元一英尺。梅根如何接近花园四周,以便快速估计围栏的成本?

    In this concept, you will learn to estimate the sums of fractions and mixed numbers.
    ::在此概念中,您将学会估算分数和混合数字的总和。

    Estimating Sums of Fractions and Mixed Numbers
    ::分数和混合数字的估算总和

    Estimation  is a method for finding an approximate solution to a problem. You can estimate a solution when you don't need an exact answer or when you want to check if your exact answer is reasonable.
    ::估计是找到问题近似解决办法的一种方法。 当您不需要确切答案或想要检查您准确答案是否合理时, 您可以估计一个解决方案 。

    When working with fractions and mixed numbers, you can use the fraction benchmarks of  0 , 1 2 ,  and  1  to help you to estimate sums.
    ::当使用分数和混合数字时,您可以使用 0、12和1 的分数基准来帮助您估算数字。

    Here are the steps for estimating the sums of fractions and mixed numbers using benchmarks.
    ::以下是使用基准估算分数和混合数字的合计数的步骤。

    1.  Approximate the value of each fraction or  mixed number  using the benchmarks of  0 , 1 2 ,  and  1 .
      ::使用0、1、2和1的基准,接近每个分数或混合数的数值。
    2.  Add the approximated values to get an estimated  sum .
      ::加上大致数值以获得估计总和。

    Here is an example.
    ::举一个例子。

    Estimate the sum of  5 9 + 1 77 .
    ::估计总和为5 9+1 77。

    First, approximate the value of each individual fraction.
    ::首先,大致相当于每一分数的数值。

    • 5 9  is approximately  1 2
      ::5 9 大约是 1 2
    • 1 77  is approximately 
      ::1 77 大概是77个

    Next, add the approximated values.
    ::下加近似值。

    1 2 + 0 = 1 2

    The answer is  5 9 + 1 77  is approximately  1 2 .
    ::答案是5 9+1 77大约是12。

    Here is another example.
    ::下面是另一个例子。

    Estimate the sum of  3 6 7 + 1 4 9 .
    ::估计数为3 6 7+1 4 9。

    First, approximate the value of each individual mixed number.
    ::首先,大约每个混杂数字的价值。

    • 3 6 7  is approximately  4
      ::3 6 7 大约是 4
    • 1 4 9  is approximately  1 1 2
      ::1 4 9 大约 1 1 2

    Next, add the approximated values.
    ::下加近似值。

    4 + 1 1 2 = 5 1 2
     The answer is  3 6 7 + 1 4 9  is approximately  5 1 2 .

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were given a problem about Megan and her vegetable garden.
    ::早些时候,你得到一个问题 梅根和她的菜园。

    Her garden is  5 1 6  feet by  7 7 8  feet. Megan wants to estimate the perimeter of the garden so she can estimate how much fencing she will need to buy to fence it in. The fencing is $6 a foot so Megan wants to use her perimeter estimate to estimate the cost of the fencing.
    ::梅根想估计花园的周界,以便她能估计需要购买多少围栏才能将其围成栅栏。 栅栏是每英尺6美元,梅根想用其周界估计来估计围栏的费用。

    First, Megan should write an expression for the perimeter of her garden. The garden is a rectangle so it has four sides. The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four sides.
    ::首先,梅根应该在花园周围写一个表达词。花园是一个矩形,它有四面。周界是四面的长度之和。

    Perimeter = 5 1 6 + 7 7 8 + 5 1 6 + 7 7 8

    Next, Megan should approximate the value of each individual mixed number.
    ::接下来,梅根应该接近每个混合数字的价值。

    • 5 1 6  is approximately  5
      ::5 1 6 大约 5 6
    • 7 7 8  is approximately  8
      ::7 7 8 大约是 8

    Next, add the approximated values.
    ::下加近似值。

    Perimeter 5 + 8 + 5 + 8 = 26   feet

    The perimeter of the garden is approximately 26 feet. If the fencing costs $6  per  foot, it will cost approximately  26 × 6 = $ 156  to fence in the garden.
    ::花园周边大约26英尺,如果围栏每英尺6美元,花园围栏大约为26×6=156美元。

    The answer is the perimeter of Megan's garden is approximately 26 feet. It will cost approximately $156 to put a fence around it.
    ::答案是梅根花园的周围大约26英尺 周围有一道栅栏

    Example 2
    ::例2

    ::首先,大约每个个别部分和混合数字的价值。

    • 18 20  is approximately  1
      ::18 20 大约是 1
    • 5 9 10  is approximately  6
      ::5 9 10 约 6
