Multiple the rate by the hours worked
<span>If the Blackburn family has a square field where they keep their cattle and then the area of the field is 40,000ft squared, and Mr. Blackburn wants to put a fence diagonally through the field, the length of the fence should be 282.84 ft.</span>
When adding, you only add the numerators. The denominator stays the same (Assuming the denominators are the same number). If not, then you will have to find a common denominator first. IN this case, the denominator is already the same. Add the numerator
2/3 + 2/3 = 4/3
Note that the answer gotten is an “improper fraction”, because the numerator is greater than the denominator. Simplify.
4/3 = 3/3 + 1/3
Divide: 3/3 = 1
1 + 1/3 = 1 1/3
1 1/3 is your mixed fraction answer (4/3 for improper fraction answer)
