Question

ADDING FRACTIONS:

Answer 1

Here is your answer:

• $\frac{4}{11} + \frac{3}{8}$

• $\frac{4}{11}\times 8 = \frac{32}{88}+\frac{3}{8} \times 11 =\frac{33}{88}$
• $32 + 33 = 65 =\frac{65}{88}$

• $= \frac{65}{88}$

Therefore the answer is "65/88."

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Let's first convert the denominators into one both fractions can have. I usually just multiply the two denoninators.

11 x 8 = 88

8 x 11 = 88

Then I multiply the numerators by what I multiply their denominators by to get 88.

4 x  8 =32

3 x 11 = 33

32/88 + 33/88 = 65/88

65/88

I can't find number that can simplify 65/88, so I think that's the lowest terms!

Hope this helps.
