Multiply 3 1/2 by 3/3 so that both fractions have "6" as their bottom number (denominator).
3 1/2 × 3/3 = 3 3/6
So, our new question is this : 3 3/6 + 4 5/6
Basically, when both fractions have the same bottom number (denominator), all you have to do is add the top numbers (numerators) as well as adding the whole numbers. Remember, you always keep the bottom number (denominator) the same when you are adding or subtracting.
Whole number : 3 + 4 = 7
Numerator : 3 + 5 = 8
Denominator : 6
So, our answer is 7 8/6
However, because the top number (numerator) is greater than the bottom number (denominator), you have to make the whole number larger.
Well let's see first we have to divide 132 divided by 12 is 11 Now to check and prove your answer we should use the multiplication. 11 times 12 is 132. So now you have a solid answer with proof behind it. If u need a sentence you might want it to go something like this; Matt brought 11 packs of baseball cards since 132 divided by 12 is 11. 12 times 11 is 132 cards. Hope I helped!
