Add Fractions with Decimal Sums

Directions: Using the digits 1 to 9 at most one time each, place a digit in each box to make the smallest possible decimal sum.

Hint

What is the smallest possible whole number the sum could be?

Answer

• 14/7 + 3/6 = 2.5
• 18/9 + 3/6 = 2.5

There may be more ways to get the sum, but I couldn’t find any more.

    I can confirm that 14/7 + 3/6 = 2.5 and 18/9 + 3/6 = 2.5 are the only two ways to get the sum 2.5 and that 2.5 is the lowest sum possible.

  2. I am better then you all cuz 1+1 is 3
