I would think it is round each amount to the nearest thousand dollars.
The answer is x=3
1x=3 so that means that one x is the same as 3
Find a common denominator which is 12
1*3=3 4*3=12 so 3 3/12
then 5*2=10 6*2=12 so 2 10/12
2 10/12+3 3/12= 5 13/12
13/12= 1 1/12 plus 5= 6 1/12
so your answer would be 6 1/12
Answer:
Multiply the numbers until you get the same denominator (Bottom number) for both fractions. I will do #1 to show you.
1/3 1/2
Both 3 and 2 go into 6, so I will use that.
When multiplying the bottom , you have to do the same to the top, so...
2/6 OR 3/6
3/6 is greater, so that is the answer.
Therefore, 1/2 is more
Another way you can do this is to draw a pizza, a section off parts of it according to the fractions.
Hope this helped.
