Question

N Winona wants to add the numbers + She first added, and then added the result to 2 3 What reason supports why Winona can do this? O the order of addition does not affect the result fractions with the same denominator must always be added first O fractions must always be added in order of increasing denominator O reordering fractions is the first step in solving any fraction addition problem

Answer 1

it is given that the expression is,

1/2 + 2/3 + 3/2

winona add 1/2 + 3/ 2 first,

because they have same denominator,

so the LCM of the fraction will be the same as denominator,

1/2 + 3/2 = (1 + 3)/2 = 4/2 = 2

so, it is easy to add the fraction that has the same denominator.

thus, the correct answer is option B
