Question

Which is the best estimate for the sum 2/9 +10/11 ?

A. 0 + 0 = 0
B. 12+12=1
C. 1 + 1 = 2
D. 0 + 1 = 1

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. 0 + 1 = 1

Explanation:

To determine the correct option, we must first perform the calculation raised in the question:

2/9 + 10/11 = X

0.22 + 0.9 = X

1.12 = X

Thus, rounded to the nearest whole number, this mathematical operation would be similar to option D, which raises the sum of 0 + 1. This is because 0.22 is rounded to 0, while 0.90 is rounded to 1.
