Answer:
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.
(1/3×4/4)+(1/4×3/3)=?
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
4/12+3/12=?
The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.
Then:
4+3
12= 7/12
This fraction cannot be reduced.
Therefore:
1/3+1/4=7/12
32x = 49
x = 49/32
Now since u said improper lets make 49/32 to mixed first, then improper
Lets divide 32 and 49 and we get 1 with a remainder of 17
1 17/32
Now that's the mixed fraction, so now lets lastly make it improper
1 * 32 + 17
--------------
32
The answer is 49/32

Answer:
8 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
The $2 difference in the price of a car wash is made up by the gas purchase at the rate of $0.25 per gallon. So, it takes ...

___
3.50g +8 = 3.25g +10 . . . . costs at each station for g gallons of gas + wash
0.25g = 2 . . . . . . . . . subtract 3.25g+8 from both sides
g = 2/.25 = 8 . . . . . . the way we did it above
