Reduce to simplest form. - 3/5 + 1/3

Mathematics

Pani-rosa [81]3 years ago

Answer: -4/15

Step-by-step explanation: To add these two fractions together,

we start by finding their <em>Least Common Denominator</em> (LCD).

Since our denominators of 5 and 3 have no factors in common,

our least common denominator is 5 · 3 or 15.

In order to get a denominator of 15 in each fraction,

we multiply top and bottom of the first fraction by 3

and top and bottom of the second fraction by 5.

That gives us -9/15 + 5/15 which simplifies to -4/15.

As your last step, make sure that the fraction

that you end up with doesn't reduce.

In this case, -4/15 does not reduce but watch out for this last step.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

It's quite simple. First, add 5cm to the progress of the insect, counting it as 1 second. Then subtract 2cm because it falls over the next second, thus taking another second. Then finally, plus 5cm, making it 3 seconds. It's not 4 seconds because at 3 seconds it had already reached the top.
