No that wouldn't work.
e.g 1/2 + 1/2 would become 2/4 (which is equivalent to 1/2) if you just added the numbers, which can't be right.

You need to find equivalent fractions so that each fraction has the same number on the bottom (denominator) and then add ( or take away) the top numbers.

1/2 + 1/2 has same number on bottom, so just add top numbers to get 2/2 =1

so 1/4 + 1/2 has diff nos on bottom, so change 1/2 to 2/4.
1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4

2/3 - 1/4 = 8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12

You may need to ask your teacher about equivalent fractions.

Answer:

14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{7}  =  \frac{5}{m + 3}

2(m + 3) = 7 \times 5

2m + 6 = 35

2m = 35 - 6

2m = 29

m = 14.5

What is a value between 1/4 and 1/3 is
yaroslaw [1]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Any unit fraction with a denominator between 3 and 4 will be between 1/3 and 1/4. For example, ...

  1/3.5 = 2/7 . . . . is between 1/3 and 1/4

__

You can also go at this considering decimal equivalents.

  1/4 = 0.25

  1/3 = 0.333... (repeating)

So, decimal numbers like 0.26, 0.295, 0.3330 are all values that are between 1/4 and 1/3.

If 2a+b=6 and a−6=b, what is the value of a?
earnstyle [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2a + b = 6......equation 1

a - 6 = b

a = b + 6........equation 2

Putting equation 2 in equation 1

2 ( b + 6 ) + b = 6

2b + 12 + b = 6

3b = 6 - 12

3b = - 6

b = - 6 / 3

Therefore b = - 2

Now

a = - 2 + 6 = 4

hope it will help :)
