Answer: When we add or subtract rational numbers that have the same denominator, we add or subtract only the numerators. The denominators stay the same. When we add or subtract rational numbers with unlike denominators, we need to change the rational numbers to equivalent rational numbers that have the same denominators, before we find the sum or difference.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first marker is labeled 208708; the second (consecutive) one 208709
Discussion:
Call the first mile marker "m". Then
m + (m+1) = 417417 => combine like terms
2m + 1 = 417417 => subtract 1 from both sides
2m = 417416 => divide both sides by 2
m = 417416/2 = 208708
Note: m and (m+1) are consecutive as they immediately follow each other in the set of integers.
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
To express the sum of two numbers using distributive property, we factor out the highest common factor (HCF) of the two numbers (i.e. the greatest number that can divide the two numbers without remainder)
28 = 2 x 2 x 7
42 = 2 x 3 x 7
The HCF of 28 and 42 is given by 2 x 7 = 14
Therefore, we express 28 + 42 using distributive property thus: 14(2 + 3)
