Yep 7 and 2 both share a common denominator of 14 good job so let's start with 4/7
what do you have to multiply 7 by to get 14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Good now multiply 7 by 2 to get the denominator and multiply the numerator which is 4 by 2 as well
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what does 4/7=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8/14

OpenStudy (anonymous):
7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yep so multiply 2 by 7 to get 14 as your denominator and do the same thing to the top of the fraction
what does 1/2=?

You still have to multiply 2*7 to finish correcting the fraction
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wat
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 1/2=7/14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
SO when I say do the same thing to the top of the fraction I mean multiply the top number of the fraction by the same number you multiplied by on the bottom of the fraction
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok the answer was 1 14

Your problem should now look like this:

subtract now and yep you got the answer right good job
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u plz not say good job then i feel like a kindergatiner
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ha ha sorry my bad
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if the denominaters is 5 or 6 is th lcm 11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think it would be 30....

OpenStudy (anonymous):
how?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cause lcm is The smallest (non-zero) number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 5*6=30 and there isn't any lower number that they both go into evenly other than 30
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i meant lcd
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok lol no it would be 30 still for the same reason

OpenStudy (anonymous):
5*6=30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok does the problem ask you to add or subtract them or what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/5=6/30
5/6=25/30
OpenStudy (anonymous):
subtract
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no add
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so
6/30-25/30=-19/30

OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so adding it would be
6/30+25/30=31/30
simplify
1(1/30)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now if the denominaters were 5 and 2 couldnt the lcd be 10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now if the denominaters were 5 and 2 couldnt the lcd be 10
