marian has 2/3of a bag af bagles.
A) she adds another 1/4 bag of bagels. what fraction of the bag is full with bagels now?
B)Marian has another bag of bagelsthat is 5/6 full. what fraction describes how many more bagels are in the bag in part (A)?
To add 2/3 and 1/4 you need to use a common denominator which is 12.
8/12 + 3/12 = _____________
B) Find the common denominator and subtract 5/6 from the answer to A.
huh i don't really get it sorry
11/12
The answer took me 3 three days to fugure it out
No problem! I'll break it down step by step for you.
A) To find out what fraction of the bag is full with bagels now, we need to add 2/3 and 1/4. But before we can do that, we need to find a common denominator for these fractions. A common denominator is a number that both 3 and 4 can divide into evenly.
To find a common denominator, we can simply multiply 3 and 4 together. In this case, the common denominator is 12.
So, we need to convert both fractions so that their denominators become 12. To do that, we can multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 4, and the numerator and denominator of 1/4 by 3.
2/3 * 4/4 = 8/12
1/4 * 3/3 = 3/12
Now we can add these fractions together:
8/12 + 3/12 = 11/12
Therefore, the fraction of the bag that is full with bagels now is 11/12.
B) Now, let's move on to the second part. We know that Marian has another bag of bagels that is 5/6 full. We need to find a fraction that describes how many more bagels are in the bag compared to the answer in part A.
To do this, we need to subtract 5/6 from the answer we got in part A, which was 11/12.
To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator again. Since both 12 and 6 can divide into 12, we don't need to find a new one.
11/12 - 5/6
To have the same denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator of 11/12 by 2:
11/12 * 2/2 = 22/24
5/6 = 20/24
Now we can subtract these fractions:
22/24 - 20/24 = 2/24
Therefore, the fraction that describes how many more bagels are in the second bag compared to the answer in part A is 2/24.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
