Add the following fractions: 1/2 + 3/8 (1 point)
To add the fractions 1/2 and 3/8, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8.
Converting 1/2 to have a denominator of 8, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 4: (1/2) * (4/4) = 4/8.
The newly converted fraction is 4/8, and it can be added to 3/8.
4/8 + 3/8 = 7/8.
Therefore, 1/2 + 3/8 equals 7/8.
Add the following fractions: 3/20 + 1/2 (1 point)
To add the fractions 3/20 and 1/2, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 20.
Since the denominator of the second fraction is already 20, we don't need to make any changes to it.
To convert 1/2 to have a denominator of 20, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10: (1/2) * (10/10) = 10/20.
Now we can add the fractions:
3/20 + 10/20 = 13/20.
Therefore, 3/20 + 1/2 equals 13/20.
Add the following fractions: 3/7 + 1/5 (1 point)
To add the fractions 3/7 and 1/5, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 35 since 7 multiplied by 5 equals 35.
To convert 3/7 to have a denominator of 35, you multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 5: (3/7) * (5/5) = 15/35.
To convert 1/5 to have a denominator of 35, you multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 7: (1/5) * (7/7) = 7/35.
Now, you can add the fractions: 15/35 + 7/35 = 22/35.
Therefore, 3/7 + 1/5 equals 22/35.
Add the following fractions: 4/15 + 1/3 (1 point)
To add the fractions 4/15 and 1/3, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 15 since both fractions already share this denominator.
Now, you can add the fractions: 4/15 + 1/3.
To make both fractions have the same denominator, you need to convert the second fraction to have a denominator of 15. To do this, you multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 5: (1/3) * (5/5) = 5/15.
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, you can add them: 4/15 + 5/15 = 9/15.
However, you can simplify this fraction further by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3: (9/3) รท (15/3) = 3/5.
Therefore, 4/15 + 1/3 is equal to 3/5.
