Question

2/15+1/3. And 6/7-1/3 which is closer in value to 1/2

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2/15+1/3

taking LCM

7/15=0.467

6/7-1/3

taking LCM

18-7/21

11/21=0.524

1/2=0.5 (given)

so 0.524 is nearer to 0.5

Hence 6/7-1/3 is nearer to 1/2

Answer 2

Given : Two numbers 2/15+1/3. And 6/7-1/3

To find : Which number is closer to 1/2

Solution:

2/15  + 1/3

= 2/15  + 5/15

= 7/15

= 14/30

1/2 = 15/30

Difference is 15/30 - 14/30 = 1/30

6/7 - 1/3

= 18/21 - 7/21

= 11/21

= 22/42

1/2 = 21/42

22/42 - 21/42  = 1/42

1/42 < 1/30

=> 6/7 - 1/3  is closer to 1/2
