of the following, which is the closest to 0.62?

A. 6/10
B. 7/11
C. 10/17
D. 11/18

is D the correct answer?

Yes, D.

To find the fraction that is closest to 0.62, we can convert the given fractions to decimal form and compare them to 0.62.

A. 6/10 = 0.6
B. 7/11 ≈ 0.636
C. 10/17 ≈ 0.588
D. 11/18 ≈ 0.611

From the given options, the fraction closest to 0.62 is D. Therefore, D is the correct answer.

To determine which fraction is closest to 0.62, we can subtract each fraction from 0.62 and compare the absolute values of the results.

For option A, 6/10, subtracting 6/10 from 0.62 gives us |0.62 - 6/10| = |0.02|.

For option B, 7/11, subtracting 7/11 from 0.62 gives us |0.62 - 7/11| = |0.01|.

For option C, 10/17, subtracting 10/17 from 0.62 gives us |0.62 - 10/17| = |0.05|.

For option D, 11/18, subtracting 11/18 from 0.62 gives us |0.62 - 11/18| = |0.03|.

From the calculations, we can see that the option with the smallest absolute difference is option B with |0.01|. Therefore, option B, 7/11, is the fraction closest to 0.62. D is not the correct answer.
