Find the sum or difference 16/17 + 3/17
A. 9/17
B. 9/34
C. 1/2
what are all the ansers
To find the sum or difference of fractions, we need to have the same denominator.
In this case, both fractions have a denominator of 17.
To find the sum, we add the numerators and keep the denominator the same:
16/17 + 3/17 = (16 + 3)/17 = 19/17.
Therefore, the sum of the fractions is 19/17.
However, none of the given options match this result.
To find the sum or difference of fractions, you need to have the same denominator. In this case, both fractions already have the same denominator of 17.
To add the fractions, you simply add the numerators together and keep the denominator the same.
16/17 + 3/17 = (16 + 3)/17 = 19/17
So, the sum is 19/17.
However, the answer choices are presented in a different form. We need to check if 19/17 can be simplified to any of the given answer choices.
To simplify a fraction, you look for a common factor in the numerator and denominator that you can divide both by.
In this case, 19/17 cannot be simplified any further, so none of the given answer choices are correct.
Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the given options.
well, what is 16+3 ?
I suspect a typo
