<h3>Explanation:</h3>
GCF: the greatest common factor of numerator and denominator is a factor that can be removed to reduce the fraction.
<em>Example</em>
The numerator and denominator of 6/8 have GCF of 2:
6/8 = (2·3)/(2·4)
The fraction can be reduced by canceling those factors.
(2·3)/(2·4) = (2/2)·(3/4) = 1·(3/4) = 3/4
___
LCM: the least common multiple of the denominators is suitable as a common denominator. Addition and subtraction are easily performed on the numerators when the denominator is common.
<em>Example</em>
The fractions 2/3 and 1/5 can be added using a common denominator of LCM(3, 5) = 15.
2/3 + 1/5 = 10/15 + 3/15 = (10+3)/15 = 13/15
Answer:
Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = 2¹/₁₀ section
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total number of sections filled = 3¹/₂ = 7 / 2 sections
Number of fraction parents watching play = 3/5
Find:
Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents]
Computation:
Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = Total number of sections filled x Number of fraction parents watching play
Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = [7/2] x [3/5]
Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = 21 / 10 sections
Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = 2¹/₁₀ section
