Estimate 4/5 with 1/8 as a benchmark:

Display the fraction bar for 4/5

The range is [6/8, 7/8]
The halfway point is denoted below:



Therefore, our range is 6/8 < 13/16 < 7/8

Compare our fraction to the mid point

4/5 < 13/16, we round down to 6/8

Estimate 1/3 with 1/8 as a benchmark:

Display the fraction bar for 1/3

The range is [2/8, 3/8]
The halfway point is denoted below:



Therefore, our range is 2/8 < 5/16 < 3/8

Compare our fraction to the mid point

1/3 ≥ 5/16, we round up to 3/8

Estimating, we have 6/8 - 3/8

Our estimated answer is 3/8
