How to add fractions? with unlike denominators

Mathematics
1 answer:
stellarik [79]3 years ago
3 0

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! :)

-3/2

slope = rise/run

We can use the two points to calculate rise (y value change) and run (x value change)

slope = (-6)/4 = -3/2

Which operation is NOT closed for polynomials?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

  • Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

When you add, multiply or subtract polynomials, the operation results in another polynomial.

When dividing polynomials, the operation may not result in another polynomial. In this case you normally end up with rational expression in the fraction form.

This operation is said not closed.

In our case this is option D.

For all real numbers a and b, a+b=b+a

This is the "commutative property of addition."  The order in which you add numbers together doesn't matter, and doesn't change your final results.
