can i get help on 4 over 9 plus 3 over 4... in simplest form
4/9 + 3/4
The common denominator is 36
4/9 = 16/36
3/4 = 27/36
16/36 + 27/36 = 33/36 = 11/12
I can't add.
16/36 + 27/36 = 43/36 = 1 7/36
Of course! To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 9 and 4 is 36.
To convert 4/9 to have a denominator of 36, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 4: (4/9) * (4/4) = 16/36.
To convert 3/4 to have a denominator of 36, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 9: (3/4) * (9/9) = 27/36.
Now, we can add the fractions: 16/36 + 27/36 = (16 + 27)/36 = 43/36.
To simplify, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator. In this case, the GCD of 43 and 36 is 1, so the fraction cannot be simplified further.
Therefore, the sum of 4/9 + 3/4 in simplest form is 43/36.
