Answer:
7/10 + 2/15= 5/6
2 3/3 + 3 1/2= 6 1/2
15/16 - 11/12= 1/48
11/15 - 7/20= 23/60
Step-by-step explanation:
When adding or subtracting fraction with different denominators, we must find there LCM to be their new denominators. Then divide the new denominator by the old denominator, do for both fractions, then multiply the answer with the numerator, do for both fractions to get their new numerators. Then add or subtract the fractions. Then simplify the answer if needed.
Ex 1:
The LCM of 10 and 15 is 30
7/10 + 2/15
(30 ÷ 10=3, 3 × 7= 21)(30 ÷ 15= 2, 2 × 2=4)
=21/30 + 4/30= 25/30 or 5/6
With whole numbers, add the two whole numbers together. Then n add the fractions. Lastly add both of the answers together.
Ex:
The LCM of 3 and 2 is 6
2 3/3 + 3 1/2
=2 + 3= 5
= 3/3 + 1/2= 9/6 or 1 3/6 or 1 1/2
= 5 + 1 1/2
= 6 1/2
Always remember to simplify if possible or necessary.
I hope this helps! I'm sorry if it's wrong or too complicated.
