Question

Find the sum: (2 +2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2)

a) (12)
b) (10)
c) (14)
d) (8)

Answer 1

The sum of the series (2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2) simplifies to 2 plus six times 1 (six instances of 1), resulting in a total sum of 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sum of the series (2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2 + 2/2), you need to first understand that 2/2 is equal to 1. Therefore, you can simplify the series by adding the whole number 2 to the sum of six instances of 2/2 (which is 6), resulting in a total sum of 8.

Let's add these numbers:

• 2 (the whole number)
• 2/2 (which equals 1, and there are six of them, so 6)

Now, we sum these up: 2 + 6 = 8.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (d) (8).
