How to add fractions with unlike denominators?

Mathematics

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

Explain why any rational number is either a terminating or repeating decimal?
harkovskaia [24]
Because if the number was rational then we can tell by looking at the numbers. The rational number should be one number or a repeating decimal or terminating number. plus because if a number was like this 5.7696... that means its irrational because we dont know the end of the number. The rational numbers are terminating numbers or either decimal or repeating numbers because we know the end of those numbers.

5:35-5:52 I need how much minutes from 5:35 from 5:52 please answer
Greeley [361]
Since these both are on the same hour we'll ignore the 5. We end up having :35 and :52. We'll subtract 35 from 52 which gives us 17. The answer to this is 17 minutes.

Which is the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (3, 7) and is perpendicular to 3x-5y=8
Natalija [7]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes which are the negative reciprocal of each other. To find the slope, convert 3x-5y=8 into y=mx+b form.

3x-5y=8

-5y = -3x +8

y = 3/5 x - 8/5

The slope is 3/5 so its perpendicular slope is -5/3. Write the equation of this line through the point (3,7) using point slope form. Then simplify into y=mx+b form.

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-7 = -\frac{5}{3}(x-3)\\y-7=-\frac{5}{3}x + 5\\y = -\frac{5}{3}x+12
