Consider the raise (in dollars) that an employee making $21,000 would receive. Estimate the raise by completing the following sentences. If an employee made half of $28,000, or $14,000, they would receive a raise that is  half $1,000. Therefore, since $21,000 is between $14,000 and $28,000  , the employee making $21,000 would receive a raise that is betwen $500 and $1,000. What fraction of $28,000 is $21,000?
