Answer:

Jamal's answer isn't reasonable because the sum of 183 and 198 is 381, which is way more than 300 and nowhere less than 300.

Explanation:

Jamal makes an assertion that the sum of 183 and 198 is less than 300.

We are to check if Jamal's answer is reasonable or not.

183 + 198 = 381 > 300

The sum of the two numbers, 381, is evidently not less than 300, hence, Jamal's answer isn't reasonable because it is downright wrong.

Hope this Helps!!!
