1. First find the LCD of the two fractions.
They share the denominator 6.
Turn 1/2 into a fraction with a denominator of 6.
2*3=6, so 1*3=3
3/6
Now add.
Leave denominators alone, but add numerators.
3+5=8
8/6
Now simplify.
Divide both by 2.
8/2=4
6/2=3
4/3 is your answer or 1 1/3
2. Multiply straight across.
3*2=6
4*7=28
6/28
Simplify
You get 3/14 as your answer.
To solve this problem we want to let X equal the amount of points that team A scored. Now we want to express the amount of points that team B scored in terms of X. If team A scored 7 more points than team B then team B scored X-7 points. We know that together they scored 163 points so we can set up this equation: x + x - 7 = 163 2x - 7 = 163 2x = 155 X = 78 Team A scored 78 points
