Question

the product of 342 and the sum of 5/9,1/2 is
a)361 b)324 c)342 d) 360
​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 361

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum of 5/9 &1/2 is

5/9+1/2=19/18

the product of 342 &19/18 is

342×19/18

(342/18)×19

19×19

361

Answer 2

Given:

The product of 342 and the sum of  $\frac{5}{9}$ , $\frac{1}{2}$

To find:

The value of  342 × ( $\frac{5}{9}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ )

Solution:

The product of 342 and the sum of  $\frac{5}{9}$ , $\frac{1}{2}$

Let the sum of $\frac{5}{9}$ and  $\frac{1}{2}$ is

$\frac{5}{9}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{2(5) + 9(1)}{9(2)}$

$\frac{5}{9}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{10 + 9}{18}$

$\frac{5}{9}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{19}{18}$

The product of 342 and the sum of  $\frac{5}{9}$ , $\frac{1}{2}$ is,

342 × $\frac{19}{18}$ = 19 × 19

The value of   342 × ( $\frac{5}{9}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ ) is 361

Final answer:

The product of 342 and the sum of  $\frac{5}{9}$ , $\frac{1}{2}$ is 361

Thus, the correct option is a)361
