A boy was asked to find the total value of \( \frac{1}{4} \) and \( \frac{2}{3} . \) Instead of finding it he calculated the total of \( \frac{1}{4} \) and multiplying inverse of \( \frac{2}{3} . \) The total he found 1) \( \frac{2}{3} \) 2) \( \frac{11}{12} \) 3) \( \frac{7}{4} \) 4) \( \frac{14}{3} \) |

Answer» \(\because\) Multiplying inverse of 2/3 is \(\frac{1/2}3\) = 3/2 Total of 1/4 and multiplying inverse of 2/3 = 1/4 + 3/2 = (1 + 6)/4 = 7/4 Thus, he found = 7/4. |
