Here are two sums 2/15+1/3 and 6/7-1/3 which of the two sums is closer in value to 1/2

ANSWER

B is closer in value to .

EXPLANATION

The first thing we need to do is to find each of the sums.

The least common multiple of and is .

So our sum becomes;

We now find the second sum;

Again we find the least common multiple of and , which is .

Our sum now becomes;

.

The next thing we have to do now is to figure out which of the two sums is nearer to .

A more efficient way to do this is to express the two sums together with over the same denominator.

That way, we can see which one is closer.

The least common multiple of is .

We can see that is closer to than

Hence we conclude that;

is closer in value to than

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363

its a, i had the same answer, its from study island right
