Find the sum and reduce to lowest terms.
5/8+7/8
12/8
12/16
3/4
3/2
To find the sum of 5/8 and 7/8, we add the numerators: 5 + 7 = 12.
The denominator remains the same: 8.
So, the sum is 12/8.
To reduce 12/8 to its lowest terms, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 4.
Then we divide the numerator and denominator by the GCD:
12/4 = 3
8/4 = 2
So, the reduced form of 12/8 is 3/2.
The sum 12/8 can be reduced to lowest terms as 3/2.
Find the sum and reduce to lowest terms
1/12+3/12
A.4/12
B.4/24
C.1/4
D.1/3
To find the sum of 1/12 and 3/12, we add the numerators: 1 + 3 = 4.
The denominator remains the same: 12.
So, the sum is 4/12.
To reduce 4/12 to its lowest terms, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 4.
Then we divide the numerator and denominator by the GCD:
4/4 = 1
12/4 = 3
So, the reduced form of 4/12 is 1/3.
Therefore, the sum 1/12 + 3/12 reduces to 1/3. The answer is D. 1/3.
Find the difference and reduce to lowest terms.
33/30-28/30
1/5
1/6
6/30
5/30
To find the difference between 33/30 and 28/30, we subtract the numerators: 33 - 28 = 5.
The denominator remains the same: 30.
So, the difference is 5/30.
To reduce 5/30 to its lowest terms, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 5.
Then we divide the numerator and denominator by the GCD:
5/5 = 1
30/5 = 6
So, the reduced form of 5/30 is 1/6.
Therefore, the difference 33/30 - 28/30 reduces to 1/6. The answer is B. 1/6.
Find the difference and reduce to lowest terms.
13/21-6/21
3/21
1/3
7/21
1/7
To find the difference between 13/21 and 6/21, we subtract the numerators: 13 - 6 = 7.
The denominator remains the same: 21.
So, the difference is 7/21.
To reduce 7/21 to its lowest terms, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 7.
Then we divide the numerator and denominator by the GCD:
7/7 = 1
21/7 = 3
So, the reduced form of 7/21 is 1/3.
Therefore, the difference 13/21 - 6/21 reduces to 1/3. The answer is B. 1/3.
