Using each of the digits 3, 5, 7, 9 in two fractions exactly once in an expression of a sum, what is the larger of the two common fractions that would give a sum between 0.75 and 1?

Respuesta :

The two fractions that will give a sum between 0.75 and 1 are 3/7 + 5/9 and the larger fraction is 5/9

How to add fractions?

We want to find two fractions using the digits 3, 5, 7 and 9 to find the one that gives a sum between 0.75 and 1.

Since it has to be a sum between 0.75 and 1, it means that the denominator must be greater than the numerator. Thus, let us try as follows;

3/5 + 7/9

Factorize out 45 to get;

¹/₄₅((3 * 9) + (7 *5))

= ¹/₄₅(27 + 35)

= ¹/₄₅(52)

This will not work because it will lead to a sum greater than 1

Let us try another one;

3/7 + 5/9

Factorize out 63 to get;

¹/₆₃((3 * 9) + (5 *7))

= ¹/₆₃(27 + 35)

= 52/63

= 0.8254

Thus, the two fractions that will give a sum between 0.75 and 1 are 3/7 + 5/9 and the larger fraction is 5/9
