How to add and subtract rational numbers

Mathematics
2 answers:
ddd [48]4 years ago

Get a common denominator and add / subtract.

Example: (1/8) + (2/8) = Since they are the same denominator, add (3/8)

Example: (1/8) - (2/8) = (-1/8)

Example: (1/8) + (1/4) = They are not same denominator so:

Multiply one of the fractions by a factor over a factor (x/x) to make it the same denominator!

(1/4) * (2/2) = (2/8)

(1/8) + (2/8) = (3/8)

Example: (1/8) + (1/7) = If they are not easily factored, just use this trick:

Multiply the left fraction by the right denominator and the right fraction by the left denominator

(1/8) * (7/7) = 7/56

(1/7) * (8/8) = 8/56

7/56 + 8/56 = 15/56

•1/2 is a rational number (1 divided by 2, or the ratio of 1 to 2)

• 0.75 is a rational number (3/4)

• 1 is a rational number (1/1)

• 2 is a rational number (2/1)

• 2.12 is a rational number (212/100)

• −6.6 is a rational number (−66/10)

• etc

The difference between two integers is at least 14. The smaller integer
egoroff_w [7]

The difference between two integers is at least 14. The smaller integer  is 2. What is the larger integer?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The largest integer is 16

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that difference between two integers is at least 14

The smaller integer  is 2

To find: largest integer

Let the smallest integer be "y" and largest integer be "x"

smallest integer = x = 2

difference between two integers is at least 14

So, y - 2 \geq 14

y \geq 14 + 2

y \geq 16

Thus the largest integer is 16
