numerator = top part of the fraction

denominator = bottom part of the fraction

* means multiply

a.

you can only add the numerator when the denominator is the same

cant add the denominator

denominator has to be the same

1/5 = 4/20

4/20 + 7/20 = 11/20

b.

1 7/8 = 15/8

3/4 ÷ 15/8 =

1.find the CM of both denominators

2.multiply both the denominator and the numerator using the CM

=(1/5)×20 +(7/20)

=20/100 +35/100

since you multiply

3.Now add both numerators ( don't add the denominators)

=the answer is 55/100

How do you solve 58 and 1/3÷6 and 2/3
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

35/4, or 8 3/4 as a mixed number

Step-by-step explanation:

First, change 58 1/3 into an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number and denominator, then adding the numerator. 58 x 3 equals 174, + 1 equals 175. So, 58 1/3 as an improper fraction is 175/3. Next, change 6 2/3 into an improper fraction. 6 times 3 equals 18, plus 2 equals 20. So, it's 20/3. So, here are your two fractions:

175/3 & 20/3

To divide fractions, I like to use a method called Keep Change Flip. Basically, you keep the first fractions the same, then change the sign. The division sign changes into a multiplication symbol. Now, your equation should look like this: 175/3 x 20/3. Next, flip the fraction from 20/3 into 3/20. This is what your equation should look like now: 175/3 x 3/20. Now you can multiply the fractions together. Before you do so, you can cross reduce to make it easier. What is a number that both 3 and 3 can be divided by? The correct answer is 3. 3/3= 1, so the equation is now 175/1 x 1/20. However, you can continue to cross reduce. You can also divide 175 and 20 by 5, so the equation changes into this: 35/1 x 1/20. Multiply numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator. So, the answer is 35/4, or 8 3/4 as a mixed number. Hope this helped!
