Explorig adding Fraction.
3/4+1/8=?
1/4+ 1/8=
7/8+3/4= please show me how to do this problem.. thanks!
next find the sum of 2/5and5/10.____.
When adding or subtracting fractions, you need to use fractions with the same denominator.
3/4 = 6/8
6/8 + 1/8 = 7/8
Can you do the rest of these problems?
7/8= 14/16
14/16+3/4=17/20 =5 2/3 HERE IS ANSWER.
PLEASE! CHECK FOR ME! THANKS MS.SUE.
Your answer is wrong.
You cannot add fractions with different denominators.
Follow the instructions I posted to add 1/4 and 1/8.
MS. SUE YOU DIDN'T SHOW ME YET ON 1/4 AND 1/8 WHERE I CAN'T FIND IT??
To add fractions, you need to have a common denominator.
Let's start with the first problem, which is 3/4 + 1/8.
To find a common denominator, we need to determine the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. In this case, the LCM of 4 and 8 is 8.
Now, we need to convert both fractions into fractions with the common denominator of 8.
For the first fraction, 3/4, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 6/8.
For the second fraction, 1/8, we don't need to do anything since it already has the denominator of 8.
Now, we can add the fractions:
6/8 + 1/8 = 7/8
So, 3/4 + 1/8 equals 7/8.
Let's move to the next problem, 1/4 + 1/8.
Again, we need to find a common denominator. The LCM of 4 and 8 is 8.
To convert 1/4, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 2/8.
Since the second fraction, 1/8, already has the common denominator, we don't need to change it.
Now, we can add the fractions:
2/8 + 1/8 = 3/8
So, 1/4 + 1/8 equals 3/8.
For the third problem, 7/8 + 3/4, we already have a common denominator, which is 8.
We can directly add the fractions:
7/8 + 3/4 = (7 + 6)/8 = 13/8
Note that 13/8 is an improper fraction. If you prefer a mixed number, it can be simplified to 1 5/8.
So, 7/8 + 3/4 equals 1 5/8.
Finally, let's solve the last problem, which is 2/5 + 5/10.
To find a common denominator, we need to determine the LCM of 5 and 10, which is 10.
To convert 2/5, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 4/10.
Since the second fraction, 5/10, already has the common denominator, we don't need to change it.
Now, we can add the fractions:
4/10 + 5/10 = 9/10
So, the sum of 2/5 and 5/10 is 9/10.
