Question

Here are two sums

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{7}+\frac{1}{4}$

LCD = 28

$\frac{2}{7}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2*4+1*7}{28}\\\\=\frac{8+7}{28}\\\\=\frac{15}{28}$

= 0.535  {Round off to tenth}

= 0.5

$\frac{5}{6}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5*4-1*6}{24}\\\\=\frac{20-6}{24}\\\\=\frac{14}{24}\\\\=\frac{7}{12}$

= 0.583 {Round off to tenth}

= 0.6

So 2/7 +1/4 is closer to 1/2
