What are the steps for adding and subtracting mixed numbers with unlike denominators

Say we have 2/3 and 1/2.

Multiply 2/3 to make 4/6.

Multiply 1/2 to make 3/6.

Suddenly, you can do whatever you want with the problem because you are working with common denominators.

I hope that this helps.  If you get stuck on future problems, just find the thing that the two denominators have in common after multiplying them a few times.  An example would be 4 and 7.  The lowest number that they can multiply to that they have least in common is 28.

Well, there are different ways to do this if you are really familiar with fractions, but "officially" :P

1) convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.

rule:  a b/c = (ac+b)/c

2)  make all fractions have a common denominator...

a/b+c/d

(a/b)(d/d)+(c/d)(b/b)

(ad/bd)+(cb/bd)

3)

The simplify your final answer with greatest common denominator or convert back to mixed number if needed...

What is an explicit equation?
artcher [175]
An explicit equation is an equation used to find a term in a sequence without using the any previous terms. For example, if I have the set of numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, my explicit equation is F(n)=2(n-1)+1. If I plug 1 in for n, I get F(1)= 2(0)+1, which is 1, my first term.

Hope this made sense.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

A = 66.5 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few different equations to find the area of a rhombus.  If you are given the measurements of the two diagonals, you can use the following formula:  

Area (A) = \frac{d_{1}d_{2} }{2}

Using this formula, you can multiply the measures of the diagonals and then divide by 2:

area = \frac{(9.5)(14)}{2} =\frac{133}{2}=66.5in^{2}
