Question

Which of these sum up to make a whole?

• A. Three halves
• B. Two Quarters
• C. Four Quarters
• D. Four Halves

Answer 1

The correct option is C Four Quarters

In Option a, adding three halves gives $\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{1+1+1}{2}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$.
This is not equal to one.

In option b, adding two quarters gives $\frac{1}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{1+1}{4}$ = $\frac{2}{4}$.
This is not equal to one.

In Option c, adding four quarters gives $\frac{1}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{1+1+1+1}{4}$ = $\frac{4}{4}$ = 1
Therefore, option c is correct.
