<h3>Explanation:</h3>
GCF: the greatest common factor of numerator and denominator is a factor that can be removed to reduce the fraction.
<em>Example</em>
The numerator and denominator of 6/8 have GCF of 2:
6/8 = (2·3)/(2·4)
The fraction can be reduced by canceling those factors.
(2·3)/(2·4) = (2/2)·(3/4) = 1·(3/4) = 3/4
___
LCM: the least common multiple of the denominators is suitable as a common denominator. Addition and subtraction are easily performed on the numerators when the denominator is common.
<em>Example</em>
The fractions 2/3 and 1/5 can be added using a common denominator of LCM(3, 5) = 15.
2/3 + 1/5 = 10/15 + 3/15 = (10+3)/15 = 13/15
Answer: 12 9/10 and 10 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
5 8/10 plus 7 1/10 equals 12 9/10
8 5/8 plus 2 2/8 equals 10 7/8
4 is the greasy common factor
Put the first number on top then start adding 6+0, 8+1, 0+4, 1+1, 0+0 and the answer is 69420
Answer: 40%
=========================================
Work Shown:
"given that it's a senior" is an important piece of info that tells us to only focus on the "seniors" column. The word "given" is an indication that we know this information 100%
There are 5 seniors (2+3 = 5) and 2 of them are male. So 2/5 = 0.40 = 40% of the seniors are male. The probability of selecting a male, if we know this person is a senior, is 40%
