You have to multiply both numbers with the same factor. What I mean, 475/58 gives you 8 R 11. Now let's try this, (475x2=950) and (58x2= 116) so our new numbers are 950/116 which gives us the same answer 8 R 11 ! I hope this helped.. But let's try another one, keep in mind, you can multiply the number by any factor AS LONG AS you multiply them with the SAME factor. So if you multiply 475 by 5, then you have to multiply the 58 by 5 as well. Now let's try, (475x5=2375) and (58x5= 290) therefore, 2375/290 = which gives you 8 R 11 ! I hope I helped . I am a Palestinian student in Palestine in grade 11 and you just brought me back to grade 4 memories ! math is fun when you get it (: good luck
To solve this question, you would need to find the common denominator among the 2 fractions. In this case it would be
72.
Then multiply numbers to both of the fractions to get to the bottom number in both fractions equaling 72.
40/72 + 27/72 =67/72.
Try to reduce to lowest terms by dividing a common number from both of them if possible.
