Question

1\7 + 1\2=? show all your steps

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{9}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{7}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$

The least common multiple of 7 and 2 is 14. Convert $\frac{1}{7}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ to fractions with denominator 14.

$\frac{2}{14} + \frac{7}{14}$

Since $\frac{2}{14}$ and $\frac{7}{14}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$\frac{2+7}{14}$

Add 2 and 7 to get 9.

$\frac{9}{14}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step 1

Can you add yet? Nope! The denominators don't match. We need a common denominator. So next we take both denominators and multiply them. Next, take each numerator and multiply it by the denominator of the other term.

So, we multiply 1 by 2, and get 2, then we multiply 7 by 2 and get 14.

1/7 times 2

Now for the second term. You multiply 1 by 7, and get 7, then multiply 7 by 2 and get 14.

1/2 times 7

We now have a new problem, that looks like this:

2/14   + 7/14

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

2 + 7 = 9

Answer:

9/14
