Question

Shoshana and Ariel got different answers on a fraction estimation problem. For the problem (8)/(9)+(1)/(4) Shoshana wrote (8)/(9)+(1)/(4) > 1. Ariel wrote (8)/(9)+(1)/(4) < 1 Who is correct? How

Answer 1

Ariel is correct because (8)/(9) + (1)/(4) is greater than 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine who is correct between Shoshana and Ariel in the fraction estimation problem (8)/(9) + (1)/(4), we can evaluate the sum algebraically. Adding the fractions numerically, we get (8)/(9) + (1)/(4) = (35)/(36), which is greater than 1. Therefore, Ariel is correct.
