What are the key rules when adding and subtracting fractions

Mathematics

When adding and subtracting fractions, they must have a common denominator. The number on the bottom must be the same in each fraction. For example, you can subtract 2/4-1/4 because the denominator is the same, but you cannot subtract 2/3-1/8 because the denominator is different.

The area of a rectangle is 30+12x what are 3 possibilities for the length and width of the rectangle
Stolb23 [73]

In order to find the three possibilities, you must first think of common factors between 30 and 12:

Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

Factors of 12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

We can find three common factors between the two numbers: 2, 3, and 6. So these are three widths that we can use. The length can be found by factoring out the numbers from 30+12x (we can't factor out x):

30+12x=2(15+6x)      Width: 2      Length: 15+6x

20+12x=3(10+4x)      Width: 3      Length: 10+4x

20+12x=6(5+2x)       Width: 6      Length: 5+2x

The perimeter of a rectangular painting is 364cm . If the length of the painting is 96cm, what is its width?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The width would be 86cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is (Width*2) +(Length*2)

Length is 96, multiply by 2 : 96*2 = 192

Subtract this from the total perimeter (364-192 = 172)

Divide this by 2 to get 1 width value (172/2 = 86)

86 cm

Lisa has 3 quarts of milk. Sanjay has 12 pints of milk. Who has more?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Sanjay, because quarts are twice as big as pints.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Milk quantity for Lisa = 3 quarts

Milk quantity for Sanjay = 12 pints

We have to convert both quantities in same unit so that we can compare both quantities.

We know that there are two pints in a quart.

So,

Lisa will have:

3*2 = 6 pints of milk

Hence,

Sanjay, because quarts are twice as big as pints.
