Question

Combine the following fractions. a. 3/5 + 4/15 b. 5/6 - 1/4

Answer 1

Hello there! :)

Answer:

1. $\boxed{\frac{13}{15} }$

2. $\boxed{\frac{7}{12} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 3/5+4/15

First, you multiply by numerator and denominator.

3*3=9

5*3=15

$=\frac{9}{15}$

Then, you had to combine by the fractions.

$\frac{9}{15}+\frac{4}{15}$

Add by the numbers from left to right.

9+4=13

13/15 is the final answer.

2. 5/6-1/4

First, you multiply by 2 both sides of numerator and denominator.

5*2=10

6*2=12

10/12

3/12

$\frac{10}{12}-\frac{3}{12}$

Subtract by the numerator.

10-3=7

7/12 is the final answer.
