How to add fractions with unlike denominators?

To add fractions with unlike denominators, you need to determine their common denominator.


Say you need to add 3/9 + 7/12.


3/9 and 7/12 have a common denominator of 36.


Here how you solve this:


3/9 = 12/36

7/12= 21/36


12/36 + 21/36 = 33/36 = 11/12

Change the fractions so they have common denominators. For example. If adding 4/8 + 2/3, a common denominator of the two could be 24. Change both fractions to have a denominator of 24. To do this:

(4/8)×(3/3)= 12/24
(2/3)×(8/8)=16/24

Now that both fractions have denominators of 24, you can simply add the numerators to get your answer. in this case, it would be 28/24

Question 2 of 10
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the base angles are the same, the side have to be the same

ML = MN

4x = x+3

Subtract x from each side

4x-x = x+3-x

3x= 3

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 3/3

x = 1

We want the length of MN

MN = x+3 = 1+3 = 4

In a rational function, is the horizontal shift represented by the vertical asymptote?
ziro4ka [17]
<h3>Short Answer: Yes, the horizontal shift is represented by the vertical asymptote</h3>

A bit of further explanation:

The parent function is y = 1/x which is a hyperbola that has a vertical asymptote overlapping the y axis perfectly. Its vertical asymptote is x = 0 as we cannot divide by zero. If x = 0 then 1/0 is undefined.

Shifting the function h units to the right (h is some positive number), then we end up with 1/(x-h) and we see that x = h leads to the denominator being zero. So the vertical asymptote is x = h

For example, if we shifted the parent function 2 units to the right then we have 1/x turn into 1/(x-2). The vertical asymptote goes from x = 0 to x = 2. This shows how the vertical asymptote is very closely related to the horizontal shifting.

A 2 feet- wide walkway surrounds a rectangular swimming pool. The swimming pool is 12 feet wide and 16 feet long. What is the ar
Andru [333]

Answer:

128 sq. ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outer sides of the walkway will have a length of 20 feet and the breadth will be 16 feet

The area of the pool along with the walkway will be 20 × 16 = 320 square feet.

Area of the pool without the walkway will be 16 × 12 = 192 square feet.

Therefore area of the walkway will be

352 - 216 = 128 square feet.
