You find the lowest common denominator of both fractions, which in this case is 24.
1/6 is equivalent to 4/24 and 1/8 is equivalent to 3/24. 
4/24 + 3/24 = 7/24

Since the denominators aren't the same, you need to find the LCM. So the lowest Common denominator. Similar to finding factors. You need to find a number that will go into both the denominators, which in your case, is 6 and 8. The lowest would be 24. Both 6 and 8 can go into 24, right? 6 * 4 = 24 AND 8 * 3 = 24? 
Ill show you ONE way of displaying your work, this should be an easier way.

1/6 + 1/8
LCM = 24
24(1/4) + 24(1/8) 
To work this out, you need to multiply the 24 to the numerator, which is 1. Then multiply the resultant to the denominator which is 4. So you'll get 6. Do the same method with the other fraction.
Working
(24*1)/4 = 6   [1]
(24*1)/8 = 3   [2]
Then add the two together.
6 + 3 = 9/24      [the LCM will be in your final answer]
From here you have to see if you can simplify this any further. In your case, You cant, so this will be your answer. 
Also, make sure you look up the exponent laws and multiplication rules, this should help you a lot :) 

I really do hope you followed through.

in cooking 1 drop equals 1/6 of dash . if a recipe calls for 2/3 of a dash , how many drops would that be?
Aleks [24]
1 / (1/6) = x / (2/3)...1 drop to 1/6 dash = x drops to 2/3 dash
cross multiply
(1/6)(x) = (1)(2/3)
1/6x = 2/3
x = 2/3 * 6
x = 12/3 = 4 drops <==

A violin student records the number of hours she spends practicing during each of nine consecutive weeks: 6.2 5.0 4.3 7.4 5.8 7.
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

A) classify the value 1.2 as an outlier, because it is more than 1.5 × IQR below the first  quartile.

Correct we satisfy that 1.2 <1.7 the lower limit

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete question: A violin student records the number of hours she spends practicing during each of nine consecutive weeks:

6.2 5.0 4.3 7.4 5.8 7.2 8.4 1.2 6.3

For this case we need to sort the data first on increasing way and we got:

1.2, 4.3, 5.0, 5.8, 6.2, 6.3, 7.2, 7.4, 8.4

For this case we have 9 values the median would be on the 5 position:

Median = 6.2

The first quartile would be 5 since we analyze 1.2, 4.3, 5.0, 5.8, 6.2 and the middle point is 5.0

The third quartile would be 7.2 since we analyze 6.2, 6.3, 7.2, 7.4, 8.4 and the middle point is 7.2

Then the interquartile rnage would be:

IQR = Q_3 -Q_1= 7.2-5=2.2

And 1.5 IQR = 1.5*2.2=3.3

The lower limit on this case would be:

LL= Q_1 -1.5 IQR= 5-3.3=1.7

And our value is 1.2 is lower than the lower limit 1.7

Considering the smallest data value (1.2) and using the 1.5 × IQR rule, we would:

A) classify the value 1.2 as an outlier, because it is more than 1.5 × IQR below the first  quartile.

Correct we satisfy that 1.2 <1.7 the lower limit

B) not classify the value 1.2 as an outlier, because it is not more than 1.5 × IQR below  the first quartile.

False 1.2 is more than 1.5 IQR below the first quartile

C) classify the value 1.2 as an outlier, because it is more than 1.5 × IQR below the  median.

False, we analyze if is an outlier comparing with the Q1 or Q3 not with the median

D) classify the value 1.2 as an outlier, because it is more than 1.5 × IQR below the  mean.

False we analyze if is an outlier comparing with the Q1 or Q3 not with the mean
