Imagine cutting up a pizza into 5 slices

If you take 2 slices, then you take 2 out of the 5, so the fractional amount you took is 2/5 of the full pizza.

If your friend takes 3 slices, then she or he takes 3/5 of the full pizza

Adding the two fractional amounts should get us back to 1 full pizza, which is why 2/5+3/5 = 1.

-----------

We could say this:

2/5 + 3/5 = (2+3)/5 = 5/5 = 1

Dividing any number over itself, as long it's not zero, always leads to 1.

So that's why 5/5 = 1.

You walk 3/8 miles to a music store. Then you walk another 1/3 miles to a clothing store. How many miles have you walked in all?

Rudik [331]

Answer:

You have walked $\frac{17}{24}$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to add these two fractions, we must find a common denominator. In this case, I used 24

$\frac{3}{8} +\frac{1}{3} \\\\\frac{9}{24} +\frac{8}{24} =\frac{17}{24}$

Paul [167]

Chen plans on listening to 360 songs, and if she has 444 <span>classical songs, 333 rock songs, and 222 rap songs, the ratio of the songs she have would be 4:3:2. We can add 4,3, and 2 to get 9. 360/9=40.Now, we do 40*4 to get 160.
Chen will be listening to 160 songs.</span>
