Question

The sum of 3/4 and 18/19 is closest to 0, 1, 2

Answer 1

Answer: 2

Explanation:

In order to sum two rational numbers, we should find their lowest common denominator. In this case, the two fractions are

$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{18}{19}$

so, their lowest common denominator is $4\cdot 19=76$. So, the sum of the two numbers becomes

$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{18}{19}=\frac{3 \cdot 19+18\cdot 4}{76}=\frac{57+72}{76}=\frac{129}{76}=1.697..$

So, this number is closer to 2.

Answer 2

Answer:

1.69 it is closest to 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $\frac{3}{4}$ and  $\frac{18}{19}$

To find  : Sum

Solution We have given that  $\frac{3}{4}$ and  $\frac{18}{19}$

$\frac{3}{4}$ +  $\frac{18}{19}$

Least common multiple of 4 and 19 is 76

So, $\frac{3*19}{4 *19}$ +  $\frac{18 *4}{19*4}$

$\frac{57}{76}$ +  $\frac{72}{76}$

Now , the denominator is equal then combine the fraction

$\frac{57 + 72}{76}$

$\frac{129}{76}$

Sum  = 1.69

Therefore, 1.69 it is closest to 2.
