Question

May someone help me with this math problem ?

Answer 1

Answer: B) 4/6 + 1/2 and E) 1/2 + 2/3


Explanation:

The top box has 6 boxes total. 4 of those are shaded making it 4/6.

The bottom box has 2 boxes total. 1 of those are shaded making it 1/2.

4/6 simplified is 2/3, making option E equivalent to option B.

Answer 2

Answer:

C,  4/6 + 1/2 and E, 1/2 + 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

the first shape was shaded 4 times and the total of it was 6

the second shape was shaded in 1 time and it was splited in 2.

EXAMPLE: so lets say i have i have a square and i shade in 3 but i split it in 4 ill have 3/4 because the highest number goes in the denominator (bottom) and the smallest goes at the numerator (top). then i have anther square but i cut in half so there is two slices of it. then i shade in one block. its going to be 1/2. the numerator (top) is how much shaded in and the denomantor (bottom) is how much in total. then if the problem told me to add then you would add 3/4 + 1/2 = 5/4 and in mixed number form it's 1 1/4 but if you needed it in a decimal form it would be 2.5     <---->    

                                                     

HOW TO ADD AND SUBTRACT FRACTIONS WITH DIFFERENT DENOMINATORS?

1. Adding and Subtracting Fractions With Different Denominators

2. Find the least common denominator (LCD.)

3.Convert each fraction to an equivalent form with the LCD as the denominator.

4. Add or subtract the fractions.

5. Write the result in simplified form.

HOW TO SIMPLIFY?

If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.

hope all of this solve your question not by just seeing the answer but also learning the answer! :)
