Question

Round to the nearest whole number then solve 9 3/4 + 8 1/4

Answer 1

First, we have to round the number to the nearest whole number, so:

`\begin{gathered} 9(3)/(4)\approx10 \\ 8(1)/(4)\approx8 \end{gathered}`

Second, we have to sum the numbers, so:

`9(3)/(4)+8(1)/(4)\approx10+8=18`

The result is 18.
