Well, there are different ways to do this if you are really familiar with fractions, but "officially" :P
1) convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.
rule: a b/c = (ac+b)/c
2) make all fractions have a common denominator...
a/b+c/d
(a/b)(d/d)+(c/d)(b/b)
(ad/bd)+(cb/bd)
3)
The simplify your final answer with greatest common denominator or convert back to mixed number if needed...
J -60

What do you mean?
It's ok.
here's an example of product..
3 X 5 = 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
it's 2x²+8x
and I cannot understand your question
First multiply, so 42 x 39, which equals 1,638, then estimate, round 42 to 40, and 39 to 40, and do 40 x 40 = 1,600 which is close to your answer, so good.
