Question 369153: Each figure represents a real number and no denominators are 0. Choose the correct
statement and briefly explain why the others are not correct.
a) (Ο/Δ)+(Ω/Ο)=(Ο+Ω)/(ΔΟ)
b) (Ο/Δ)+(Ω/Ο)=(Ο+Ω)/(Δ+Ο)
c) (Ο/Δ)+(Ω/Ο)=(ΟΟ+ΩΔ)/(ΔΟ)

The correct one is (Ο/Δ)+(Ω/Ο)=(ΟΟ+ΩΔ)/(ΔΟ).
Suppose (a) is correct: Then 1+=+1%2F2+%2B+1%2F2+=+3%2F2+=+1.5, contradiction.
Suppose (b) is correct: Then 1+=+2%2F3+%2B+1%2F3+=+4%2F5+=+0.8, contradiction
