Let's look at an example.
We'll add the fractions 1/6 and 1/8
Before we can add, the denominators must be the same.
To get the denominators to be the same, we can...
- multiply top and bottom of 1/6 by 8 to get 8/48
- multiply top and bottom of 1/8 by 6 to get 6/48
At this point, both fractions involve the denominator 48. We can add the fractions like so
8/48 + 6/48 = (8+6)/48 = 14/48
Add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same the entire time.
The last step is to reduce if possible. In this case, we can reduce. This is because 14 and 48 have the factor 2 in common. Divide each part by 2.
The fraction 14/48 reduces to 7/24
Overall, 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24
Answer:
20% mark up
Step-by-step explanation:
[(48-40)/40]×100%= 20%
Standard calculator will tell you that this is <span>1.1034455e+18 If that makes sense</span>
She missed 3 questions,
11/100 equals x/26
^set up this proportion
you get 286 equals 100x
and x equals 2.86
round this to 3 questions
to check your work, do 23/26
6 because 18 divided by 3 equals 6
