The simplified values of both columns indicate that Statement # is true.
The simplified value of Column A is 3.5, which is rational (can be expressed as a fraction).
The simplified value of Column B is V3 + }, which is an irrational sum because it includes a square root and a non-repeating decimal.
Therefore, only Statement #1 is true: Only Column A has a rational sum.
To evaluate the two sums, let's calculate them step by step:
Column A: 0.5 + 3 = 3.5
Column B: V3 + } (Assuming there might be a typo here)
As the expression V3 + } is not clear, we cannot evaluate the sum in Column B.
Now let's determine which statement is true based on the evaluations:
Statement #1: Only Column A has a rational sum. (False, Column B cannot be evaluated to determine its rationality)
Statement #2: Only Column B has a rational sum. (False, we cannot determine the sum in Column B)
Statement #3: Column A and Column B both have rational sums. (Cannot determine, as the sum in Column B is unknown)
Therefore, we cannot definitively determine which statement is true based on the given information.
To evaluate the sum in Column A, add 0.5 and 3. The sum of 0.5 and 3 is 3.5.
To evaluate the sum in Column B, you mentioned characters like "V3 + }" which do not represent valid numbers. It is not possible to evaluate this sum without valid numerical values.
Since we cannot evaluate the sum in Column B, we can determine that only Statement #1: Only Column A has a rational sum is true.
