hello?

OpenStudy (retireed):

What don't you understand? You are just suppose to estimate the answers. What answer seems reasonably correct for the addition question?

OpenStudy (emoniplaysstudy):

D

OpenStudy (retireed):

\[1+7/8 + 1/9\] This is the addition in question Answer the following two questions for me. What is 7/8 + 1/8 equal? Since 1/8 is greater than 1/9, is 7/8 + 1/9 greater than one?

OpenStudy (emoniplaysstudy):

=1

OpenStudy (emoniplaysstudy):

and yes its greater than 1

OpenStudy (retireed):

Yes 7/8 + 1/8 equals 1. Since 1/8 is greater than 1/9, is 7/8 + 1/9 greater than one?

OpenStudy (emoniplaysstudy):

yes it is

OpenStudy (retireed):

So 63/72 plus 8/72 is greater than 72/72 ?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

why do you believe the correct answer is D? Note that 1 7/8 is very close to 2, and 1/9 is even closer to 0. What is 2+0? That's your answer here.
