Question

Is this correct 2/7+1/2=3/9

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

To see if this is a true statement, we need to get both fractions with the same denominator.

`(2)/(7) = (4)/(14)`

Multiply both sides by 2

`(1)/(2) = (7)/(14)`

Multiply both sides by 7

`(4)/(14) + (7)/(14) = (11)/(14)\\(11)/(14) \\eq (3)/(9)`

`(11)/(14) = 0.7857... \\(3)/(9) = (1)/(3) = 0.333...`

0.333... ≠ 0.7857...
