How to add fractions? with unlike denominators

Mathematics
1 answer:
stellarik [79]3 years ago

Answer:

The recipe calls for 19/12 or 1 7/9 cups.


Step-by-step:

In order to get this answer, we have to add all three fractions together. First, we have to find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) between the three denominators:

2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

3: 3,6,9,12

4: 4,8,12

The LCM between these three denominators is 12.

4x3=12

2x6=12

3x4=12

You now multiply the numerator by the same number you multiplied by for the denominator in order to get 12:

3/4 becomes 9/12

1/2 becomes 6/12

1/3 becomes 4/12

We now add all the fractions together:

9/12+6/12+4/12= 19/12

We got 19/12 but the answer is an improper fraction so we turn it into a mixed number:

12x1=12 (7 remaining)

This is written as 1 7/12.

Hope this helps! :)

5 1/2+ 3 2/3+ 1 4/5
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

10\frac{29}{30}

Step-by-step explanation:

5\frac{1}{2} +3\frac{2}{3} +1\frac{4}{5}

Let us group the integers and the fractions.

5\frac{1}{2} +3\frac{2}{3} +1\frac{4}{5} = (5+3+1)+(\frac{1}{2} +\frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{5}  )

= 9+\frac{15+20+24}{30}

= 9+\frac{59}{30}

=9+1\frac{29}{30}

=10\frac{29}{30}
