If the 3 is an exponent, then the person above me is right.
Answer:
(write them out and convert them all into mixed fractions)
(find the LCD aka least common denominator)
(add all numerators together)
(this is improper, so you need to convert back to mixed by dividing)
(this is your answer)
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
12/5
Discussion:
Note that 10 is a common denominator of both denominators:
9/5 = (9*2)/(5*2) = 18/10
- ( -6/10) = + (6/10)
So the original problem is equivalent to
18/10 + 6/10 =
(18 +6)/10 =
24/10 =
(2*12)/ (2*5) => cancelling the common factor "2"
12/5 =
2 and 2 fifths =
22/5 (though this looks like (22)/5!)
Thank you,
MrB
