Adding Fractions:

You add the numerators.

ex) 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4
ex) 3/4 + 3/4 = 6/4 or 1 2/4

to change the improper fraction to a
proper fraction if the numerator (top number) is larger than the denominator (bottom number), you put the numerator and take the denominator and put equal amounts of however many times the denominator can go into it. (for my example: 4 went into 6 only 1 time, so the whole number is 1 leaving 2/4 left on the fraction.)

to add proper fractions with a whole number, you add the whole numbers together and then add the fractions separately. then put the sums together to get the answer.

ex) 1 2/4 + 3 1/4 = 4 3/4
ex) 2 3/4 + 2 1/3 = 5 1/12

to add fractions with a different denominator, you have to make the denominators the same first before anything else. so, you can multiply the denominators to get an even fraction for each. (for example, multiply the denominators 4 and 3, to get 12.) Then however much each numerator had to multiply to get to the new denominator (12), multiply the numerators with the same amount. (for example, 3/4 • 3/3 = 9/12 and 1/3 • 4/4 = 4/12.) Now you can add the fractions together as before. Add the numerators together. (9/12 + 4/12 = 13/12 = 1 1/12.)

Now that you have your fractions added, you can add the sum to the whole numbers. Since the whole numbers were 2 + 2 = 4. and 4 + 1 1/12 = 5 1/12.

Those are the basics of adding fractions, hope this helps. Let me know if you need help with anything else.

Which is NOT a major expense category?<br> housing<br> transportation<br> electricity<br> food
DIA [1.3K]
<span>Housing is definitely a major expense. Whether you rent or own it is likely to be your largest expense. Electricity and food are absolute necessities. Food is somewhat controllable depending on how often you eat out and the types of groceries you purchase. Electricity is also somewhat controllable depending on your lifestyle and how you manage consumption. However both of these categories are still going to comprise a significant portion of your monthly expenses, Transportation, on the other hand, does not have to be a major expense. If you choose not to own a car, walk or bicycle to walk, work from home, use the internet for shopping, ride share, bum rides from friends and use public transportation as a last resort this expense can be very small. However if you choose to own multiple high end cars this expense can also be quite high and greater than food or electricity. In summary, housing, food and electricity are required to survive in the modern world and will always be recurring major expense items. In contrast, it is possible to choose to minimize transportation so it is not a major expense. Now I write this as someone who owns 4 cars so the best approach is to get an education, work hard and make enough money so you don't have to worry about any of these expenses.</span>
