Question

Which is greater,the sum of 4 1/2 and 2 1/5 or the sum of 3 2/3 and 3 1/2 ? By how much is one sum. Greater than the other

Answer 1

Answer:

so the $3\frac{2}{3} +3\frac{1}{2}$ is greater then $4\frac{1}{2} +2\frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of

$4\frac{1}{2} +2\frac{1}{5}$

9/2 + 11/5

tale LCM  = 10

(45+22)/10

67/10 = 6.7

and

$3\frac{2}{3} +3\frac{1}{2}$

11/3+ 7/2

take LCM = 6

(22+21)/6

43/6

7.16

so the $3\frac{2}{3} +3\frac{1}{2}$ is greater then $4\frac{1}{2} +2\frac{1}{5}$
