Add and Simplify 9/12+1/2

Mathematics

Cloud [144]3 years ago

Step One: Since when you add and subtract fractions they need to have the same denominator. So you find the least common denominator. Which is 6.

Step Two:So, now you have your least common denominator. Now you multiply 1/2 * 6. Remember whatever you do to the bottom you do to the top. So you multiply 2 and 6, then multiply 1 and 6. Which will leave you with 6/12.

Step Three:Now you add the numerator. Remember you the denominator ALWAYS STAYS THE SAME. The Denominator always stays the same when you add and subtract fractions. So, 9/12 + 6/12 = 15/12. 

Step Four:Now you simplify. So you divide 15 / 12=  1 with the remainder of 3. Like I said before the denominator ALWAYS STAYS THE SAME. So you now have 1 3/12. We can still simplify that number.  So we divide by the least common denominator which is 3. Remember whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top. The whole number stays the same as well. So divide    1 3/12 / 3 = 1 1/4. So, the answer is 1 1/4

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

3.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using x2 as the denominator :

2x2 - 5x (2x2 - 5x) • x2

2x2 - 5x = ———————— = ———————————————

1 x2

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

STEP

:

Pulling out like terms

4.1 Pull out like factors :

2x2 - 5x = x • (2x - 5)

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x • (2x-5) • x2 - (3) 2x4 - 5x3 - 3

Two of your friends, Matt and Karen, both run to you to settle a dispute. They were working on a math problem, and got different
Anna11 [10]
So in matt's equation, he made a mistake in the a transision from line 2 to line 3 
in line 2:  -4(-2)2
in line 3: -4(4) 
the mistake is that -2 times 2 is not equal +4 it is equal to -4
also from lines 5 to 6 he made a mistake in order of opperations (mulit division then addition and subtract)
line 5: -10+30/5
line 6: 20/5

so he first subtracted 10 then divided, he should have divided then subtracted
so the equation should have equaled 

Karen used the correct (-) times (+) property and the order of operations
so Karen is correct and Matt is wrong.
