At the Wildlife Junction Petting Zoo, 2/3 of the zoo is used for animal exhibits, 1/4 of the zoo is used for the children's play area, and the remaining space is used for the ticket counter and food court. Does it make sense to say that 3/7 of the zoo is used for the animal exhibits and the children's play area combined?
a) yes, because 3/7 is greater than 1/4
b) no, because 3/7 is less than 2/3
c) no, because 2/3 is close to 1 and 1/4 is close to 1/2, so the sum should be close to 1 1/2
d) yes because 2/3 is close to 1/2 and 1/4 is close to 1/2, so the sum should be close to 1/2
