Answer:

13/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, you can't add it yet because the denominators don't match. We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change as well. So, multiply 3 by 8, and get 24. Since 4 is evenly divided by 8, we can multiply just one term to get a common denominator. Multiply 3 by 2, and get 6, then we multiply 4 by 2 and get 8. Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators. So now your answer should be 9/8. Well guess what... IT IS THE ANSWER! You can't reduce it anymore so 9/8 is your answer! Hope this helped!

4. The students in Mr. Michael’s art class are decorating a booth for Harvest Day. They have blue cloth that is 60 inches long,

MrRissso [65]

Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.

a.

As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72.

First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

$60=2*2*3*5\\ \\ 48=2*2*2*2*3\\ \\ 72=2*2*2*3*3$
