A way to add fractions that always works is to multiply each numerator by the denominator of the other, then express the sum of products over the product of the denominators.
Here, you have
The sum is -1 1/12
Answer: The variables have a weak positive correlation
Since r > 0, the correlation is positive. It's a weak correlation because r is closer to 0 than it is to 1.
Total coverage = 0.85 x 185,000 = $157,250
Coverage for Loss of Use = 0.25 x 157250 = $39,312.50
The missing pieces strategy is another method to compare two fractions. To tell which number is larger, you need to see which one is missing less. For example, you have 3/4 versus 4/5. Each of these fractions needs 1 to complete the whole. You need to subtract the numerator with one to compare them. For 3/4 we have 1/4 and for 4/5 we have 1/5. You know that if you complete 4/5 you will get 4. You know that 5 is greater than four. Therefore, 4/5 is larger than 3/4.
