Answer:

1.69 it is closest to 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :
(3)/(4) and
(18)/(19)

To find : Sum

Solution We have given that
(3)/(4) and
(18)/(19)


(3)/(4) +
(18)/(19)

Least common multiple of 4 and 19 is 76

So,
(3*19)/(4 *19) +
(18 *4)/(19*4)


(57)/(76) +
(72)/(76)

Now , the denominator is equal then combine the fraction


(57 + 72)/(76)


(129)/(76)

Sum = 1.69

Therefore, 1.69 it is closest to 2.

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

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


(3)/(4)


(18)/(19)

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


(3)/(4)+(18)/(19)=(3 \cdot 19+18\cdot 4)/(76)=(57+72)/(76)=(129)/(76)=1.697..

So, this number is closer to 2.
