- 12/7 + 3/14 Write your answer as a reduced improper fraction.
To add 12/7 and 3/14, we need to first find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 7 and 14 is 14.
12/7 is equivalent to (12/7)*2/2 = 24/14.
Now, we can add:
24/14 + 3/14 = (24 + 3)/14 = 27/14.
Therefore, the answer as a reduced improper fraction is 27/14.
To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 7 and 14 is 14.
Now, we can rewrite the fractions with the common denominator of 14:
12/7 + 3/14 = (12 * 2)/ (7 * 2) + 3/14
Simplifying, we get:
= 24/14 + 3/14
Next, we can add the numerators since the denominators are already the same:
= (24 + 3)/14
= 27/14
So, 12/7 + 3/14 as a reduced improper fraction is 27/14.
To solve this problem and write your answer as a reduced improper fraction, we need to convert both fractions to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 14 because both 7 and 14 are divisible by 7.
Converting the first fraction, 12/7, to have a denominator of 14, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2. This gives us (12 × 2)/(7 × 2) = 24/14.
Now we can add the two fractions: 24/14 + 3/14 = (24 + 3)/14 = 27/14.
Finally, to write the answer as a reduced improper fraction, we need to determine if there is a common factor that can divide both the numerator and denominator. In this case, 27 and 14 have a common factor of 1. Therefore, the answer is already in its simplest form: 27/14.
