Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve It Briefly

0.22-(-5/8)

write in fraction

22/100+5/8

LCM OF 100&8 = 200

Now ,

44+125/200= 169/200

169/200=0.845 and it is less than 1 and more than zero but if we round off the answer we get 1 as answer.

But we will consider 0.845 as our correct answer .
