3 5/8+2 2/3
1 7/24
I don't know the first one.
2 is right, but 3 is wrong.
I get 5 31/24 but its an improper fraction what do I do next?
31 divided by 24 = 1 7/24
5 + 1 7/24 = 6 7/24
To find the value of point A, we can look at the given fractions and identify the fraction that corresponds to point A. Looking at the sequence of fractions provided, we can see that each fraction increases by 1/8.
Starting from 0, the next fraction is 1/8. Then, it increases to 2/8, which simplifies to 1/4. The next fraction is 3/8, simplifying to 3/8. And finally, the last fraction before A is 4/8, which simplifies to 1/2.
Therefore, we can conclude that point A represents the fraction 1/2.
To compare the fractions 3/4 and 17/20, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 4 and 20 is 20.
Converting both fractions to have a denominator of 20:
3/4 becomes 15/20 (by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 5)
17/20 remains the same.
Now, we can compare the two fractions: 15/20 and 17/20. Since 17/20 is greater than 15/20, we can write that 3/4 < 17/20.
To add 3 5/8 and 2 2/3, we first need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
3 5/8 can be written as (3 * 8 + 5)/8 = 29/8
2 2/3 can be written as (2 * 3 + 2)/3 = 8/3
Now, we can add the two fractions:
29/8 + 8/3
To find a common denominator, we need to multiply the denominators together: 8 * 3 = 24.
Converting both fractions to have a denominator of 24:
29/8 becomes 87/24 (by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3)
8/3 becomes 64/24 (by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 8)
Now, we can add the two fractions:
87/24 + 64/24 = 151/24
To simplify this fraction, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 1.
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by the GCD:
151/24 ÷ 1/1 = 151/24
Therefore, the sum of 3 5/8 and 2 2/3 is 151/24, or it can be simplified further to 6 7/24.
