find the value of this fraction computation: (1+2+3)
( fraction line)
(2+3+4)
calculation with distribution and without distribution
1/2+2/3+3/4
First, change the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator.
then what do I do ?
To find the value of the given fraction, we need to perform the computation separately for both numerator and denominator.
Calculation with Distribution:
First, let's tackle the numerator: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.
Next, for the denominator: 2 + 3 + 4 = 9.
So, the fraction becomes 6/9.
Calculation without Distribution:
Without distribution, we need to perform addition for both the numerator and denominator separately.
For the numerator: (1 + 2 + 3) = 6.
For the denominator: (2 + 3 + 4) = 9.
Once again, the fraction is 6/9.
Regardless of whether we perform distribution (adding the numbers individually before dividing) or not, the value of the fraction remains the same: 6/9.
