Answer: 2

Explanation:

In order to sum two rational numbers, we should find their lowest common denominator. In this case, the two fractions are

\(\frac{3}{4}\)

\(\frac{18}{19}\)

so, their lowest common denominator is \(4\cdot 19=76\). So, the sum of the two numbers becomes

\(\frac{3}{4}+\frac{18}{19}=\frac{3 \cdot 19+18\cdot 4}{76}=\frac{57+72}{76}=\frac{129}{76}=1.697..\)

So, this number is closer to 2.

Answer:

1.69 it is closest to 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : \(\frac{3}{4}\) and  \(\frac{18}{19}\)

To find  : Sum

Solution We have given that  \(\frac{3}{4}\) and  \(\frac{18}{19}\)

\(\frac{3}{4}\) +  \(\frac{18}{19}\)

Least common multiple of 4 and 19 is 76

So, \(\frac{3*19}{4 *19}\) +  \(\frac{18 *4}{19*4}\)

\(\frac{57}{76}\) +  \(\frac{72}{76}\)

Now , the denominator is equal then combine the fraction

\(\frac{57 + 72}{76}\)

\(\frac{129}{76}\)

Sum  = 1.69

Therefore, 1.69 it is closest to 2.
