Let's look at an example.
We'll add the fractions 1/6 and 1/8
Before we can add, the denominators must be the same.
To get the denominators to be the same, we can...
- multiply top and bottom of 1/6 by 8 to get 8/48
- multiply top and bottom of 1/8 by 6 to get 6/48
At this point, both fractions involve the denominator 48. We can add the fractions like so
8/48 + 6/48 = (8+6)/48 = 14/48
Add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same the entire time.
The last step is to reduce if possible. In this case, we can reduce. This is because 14 and 48 have the factor 2 in common. Divide each part by 2.
The fraction 14/48 reduces to 7/24
Overall, 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24

Answer:
Mai
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the rate, you must determine who is going faster per minute. To do this, you must divide the total number of miles by the total number of minutes.
Mai: 5 miles / 15 minutes = 1/3 miles per minute
Jada: 4 miles / 14 minutes = 2/7 miles per minute
Then, use a common denominator to make calculations easier:
Mai: 1/3 * 7/7
Jada: 2/7 * 3/3
You should get:
Mai: 7/21 miles per minute
Jada: 6/21 miles per minute
By looking at this, you can see that Mai is traveling slightly faster, going more miles than Jada per minute.
