To find two numbers whose sum is 1.9 from the given options, we can first convert the fractions and mixed numbers to decimal form for easier comparison:

  • -0.2 = -0.2
  • -0.4 = -0.4
  • 2/1 = 2.0
  • -0.5 = -0.5
  • 2 1/10 = 2.1
  • -0.3 = -0.3
  • -0.1 = -0.1
  • 23/10 = 2.3
  • 2 2/5 = 2.4
  • 11/5 = 2.2

Now, let's look for pairs of these numbers that add up to 1.9:

  1. 2.0 and -0.1:
    • 2.0 + (-0.1) = 1.9
  2. 2.1 and -0.2:
    • 2.1 + (-0.2) = 1.9
  3. 2.3 and -0.4:
    • 2.3 + (-0.4) = 1.9
  4. 2.4 and -0.5:
    • 2.4 + (-0.5) = 1.9
  5. 2.2 and -0.3:
    • 2.2 + (-0.3) = 1.9

All of the above combinations give us pairs whose sum is 1.9. Thus, any of these pairs is a valid answer.

For example, one such pair is:

  • 2.0 and -0.1.
