Question

Add using fraction strip. 1/2 + 5/2​

Answer 1

Answer:

If you add this fraction in fraction strip instead of equivalent fraction method

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly draw 5 1/2 fraction strip

then draw 12 1/4 fraction strip

we taking 1/4 bcoz 1/4 is multiple of 1/2, under 1/2 there is 2 1/4.

The end product will be 12/4

cancel out it 12/4 by 2 ans = 6/2 still we can cancel so cancel out 6/2 by 2 at the end ans will be 3/1 = 3

if you think it wrong then use the equivalent fraction method to see the answer..

1/2 + 5/2

denominators are same so we will take only one denominator and will directly add the numerators

1 + 5 = 6 so

6/2 cancel it the ans will be 3/1 and it's equal to 3.
