What is 1/5 +1/4 please help thank you

1 answer:

5 0

To add fractions, you find the least common multiple.
But, a faster way would be multiply the two denominators together:

x/20 + /20
How many times does 4 go into 20? 5 times. 5 times 1 equals 5.
5/20 + x/20
How many times does 5 go into 20 4 times? 4 times 1 equals 4.

5/20 + 4/20 = 9/20. This is the final answer because it can't be simplified any more.

Kelly tells you that when variables are in the denominator, the equation one over two plus three over x equals three over four b

Lera25 [3.4K]

1/2 + 3/x = 3/4
3/x = 3/4 - 1/2
3/x = 3/4 - 2/4
3/x = 1/4....this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(1)(x) = (3)(4)
x = 12

check..
1/2 + 3/12 = 3/4
6/12 + 3/12 = 3/4
9/12 = 3/4
3/4 = 3/4 (correct)

so x = 12
