Is 0.963 close to 3/4
2 answers:
There's no such concept as "close" in mathematics. Or at least, you have to specify when you consider two numbers to be "close".
All we can say is that, since 3/4=0.75, the two numbers are
units apart. Is this small enough to consider them as "close"? Is this big enough to consider them not to be "close"?
You should clarify more what you mean so that a definitive answer can be given.

9 has factors of 3*3.
2 is prime, so no factors.
from those two denominators, we can get the LCD of hmmm simply their product, namely 18.
now, recall that, to get the mixed fraction, we divide 89 ÷ 18, the quotient goes up front, the "4", and the remainder is the one atop, the "17".
