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.

The sum of a number and three is doubled and then added to the product of six and the original number to give forty six
Zina [86]

Answer:

The number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number

Now let's break it down!

Sum of a number and 3 gives;

x + 3

This is then doubled to give;

2* (x + 3)

This is added to the product of 6 and the original number to give 46

Product of 6 and the original number = 6 * x

Now 2* (x + 3) is added to 6 * x to give 46

2* (x + 3) + 6*x = 46

2x + 6 + 6x = 46

8x + 6 = 46

Subtract 6 from both sides

8x + 6 - 6 = 46 - 6

8x = 40

x = 40/8

x = 5

Hence, the number is 5

Including 5% sales tax, an inn charges $252 per night. Find the inn’s nightly cost before the tax is added
stira [4]

Hi,

To find the cost before tax, we must find out how much the tax is. So we multiply 252 x .05 to get 12.6. So we know the tax was 12.6 dollars. Now all we have to do is subtract that from the total to get our answer. 252 - 12.6 = 239.4.

Have a great day!

Which equation has the solution x = 3?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

2x + 4 = 10 = x =3

Step-by-step explanation:

09 - 31 = 0  (the variable x is not present in the given system)

0 +5=6  (the variable x is not present in the given system)

2x + 4 = 10  = x = 3

09-1=4  (the variable x is not present in the given system)

51 - 7 = 1  (the variable x is not present in the given system)

3x + 1 = 9 = x = 8/3
