PrimeAnswer:
Step-by-step explanation:
numerator = top part of the fraction
denominator = bottom part of the fraction
* means multiply
a.
you can only add the numerator when the denominator is the same
cant add the denominator
denominator has to be the same
1/5 = 4/20
4/20 + 7/20 = 11/20
b.
1 7/8 = 15/8
3/4 ÷ 15/8 =
3/4 * 8/15 =
24/60 = divide both top and bottom by 12 =
2/5
It does not matter which he does first. Either way, zero pairs will be created on both sides, which will isolate the variable to determine x<span>. Adding the </span>x<span>-tiles and then the unit tile, or visa versa, will give the same solution.</span>
