Add fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators example 7+1
10+10 =
hOW DO I WORK THIS
you have to change the demoninator in the fraction to be the same as the fraction you are adding to it by multiplying the whole fraction by a whole munber.
example
1/2 + 1/8 =
4*(1/2) + 1/8 =
4/8 + 1/8 = 5/8
fractions plus whole numbers you just change the whole number to a fraction
example:
4 also equal 4/1, 8/2, 16/4
4 + 3/4 =
16/4 + 3/4 = 19/4
To add fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators, follow these steps:
1. Start by adding the whole numbers together. For example, if you are adding 7 and 1, you would have 7 + 1 = 8.
2. Next, add the fractions together. If the fractions have the same denominator, you can simply add the numerators and keep the denominator the same. For example, if you are adding 10/10 and 10/10, you would have (10 + 10) / 10 = 20/10.
3. Simplify the fraction if possible. In the example above, the fraction 20/10 can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 10. Doing so, you get 20/10 = 2/1.
4. Finally, combine the whole number from step 1 with the simplified fraction from step 3. In this example, the sum is 8 + 2/1 = 8 + 2 = 10.
Therefore, the sum of 7 + 1 and 10 + 10 is 10.
