Question

Renee calculated 3/6 plus 2/4 and said the answer equaled 5/10. Amanda solved the same problem and said the answer equaled one whole. Whose answer is more reasonable?

Answer 1

Amanda's

Explanation:

Given :

3/6 + 2/4

The L. C. M of 6 and 4 = 12

(6 + 6) / 12

12 / 12

= 1

Renne's result = 5/10

Amanda's result = 1 whole

Hence, Amanda's result makes more sense.
