Write one half and two thirds with denominators of 6. Then add the renamed fractions. Write the answer as a mixed number.
WORK
here is my work
take one half and two thirds with equal denominators and u get for one half three sixths and for two thirds u get four sixths and u add them together which gives u seven sixths? and then divide seven sixths which gives u.....
one and one sixth??
PLEASE HELP ME MS.SUE!!!!!
Im desperate plz desperate please have mercy help me someone please!
(crying)
(3/6) + (4/6) = 7/6 = 1 1/6
You're right! :-)
To write one half with a denominator of 6, we need to change the fraction to have the same value but with a different denominator.
To do this, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. In this case, we want to multiply by 3 because 2 multiplied by 3 gives us 6.
So, one half with a denominator of 6 becomes:
(1 * 3) / (2 * 3) = 3/6
Now, to write two thirds with a denominator of 6, we follow the same process.
We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2 because 3 multiplied by 2 is 6.
So, two thirds with a denominator of 6 becomes:
(2 * 2) / (3 * 2) = 4/6
Now, let's add these fractions together: 3/6 + 4/6.
To add fractions with the same denominator, you simply add the numerators together and keep the denominator the same.
3/6 + 4/6 = (3 + 4) / 6 = 7/6
Since the numerator is greater than the denominator, this is an improper fraction. To convert it to a mixed number, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator.
7 divided by 6 equals 1 with a remainder of 1.
So, the answer is 1 and 1/6 as a mixed number.
