Question

Can anyone help me on this?

Answer 1

Out of the two sums, B is the closest to the value to 1/2.

Steps for A:

Change 1/3 to 5/15

2+5/15

= 7/15

7/15 as a decimal: 0.46

0.50 - 0.46 = 0.04

Steps for B:

Change 6/7 to 18/21

Change 1/3 to 7/21

18-7/21

= 11/21

11/21 as a decimal: 0.52

0.52 - 0.50 = 0.02
