We can use the bench marks for fractions which are 0, 1/2, and 1 . We need to figure out what benchmark 3/8 is closest to which is 1/2 or we can say 4/8 to make it more easier. Now we can look at 1/12 . 1/12 is closer to 0. If we’re looking for the sum, we need to add 1/2 with 0. 1/2+0= 1/2. 1/2 is your answer.
