Question

The sum of 3/4 and 18/19 is closest to 0, 1, 2

Answer 1

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

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.
