Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
Answer (D): Since $\frac{3}{2}\cdot\frac{4}{3}\cdot\frac{5}{4}\cdot\frac{6}{5}\cdots\frac{a}{b}=9$, we see that $\frac{a}{2}=9$. Thus, $a=18$, $b=17$, and $a+b=35$.
答案(D):因为 $\frac{3}{2}\cdot\frac{4}{3}\cdot\frac{5}{4}\cdot\frac{6}{5}\cdots\frac{a}{b}=9$,所以可知 $\frac{a}{2}=9$。因此,$a=18$,$b=17$,且 $a+b=35$。
