Answer 1

To solve the expression \( 920 + 720 \), we first perform the addition:

\[ 920 + 720 = 1640 \]

Next, we will simplify the given fractions associated with the responses.

1. Start Fraction \(\frac{16}{20}\): \[ \frac{16}{20} = \frac{4}{5} \quad (\text{Divide numerator and denominator by } 4) \]

2. Start Fraction \(\frac{16}{40}\): \[ \frac{16}{40} = \frac{2}{5} \quad (\text{Divide numerator and denominator by } 8) \]

3. Start Fraction \(\frac{4}{5}\): This is already in simplest form.

4. Start Fraction \(\frac{4}{10}\): \[ \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \quad (\text{Divide numerator and denominator by } 2) \]

Now, let’s summarize:

• \(1640\) (the value we obtained from \(920 + 720\))
• \(\frac{16}{20} = \frac{4}{5}\)
• \(\frac{16}{40} = \frac{2}{5}\)
• \(\frac{4}{5}\)
• \(\frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}\)

Among the options provided, \(1640\) is the correct answer corresponding to \(920 + 720\).

So the answer is: \[ \boxed{1640} \]
