2/3 + 3/4 in addition unlike denminators

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mick, try this one like how we did the last... but instead of having to change one fraction, you have to find a number that both 3 and 4 go into, then multiply the fractions by the appropriate number to get common denominators.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 12 rigth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes you can use 12. Now what will your two fractions be after you make them common?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will the top number be 4 n 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no... but you have the idea... you now have common denominators of 12. what do woul would you multiply 2/3 by to get 12 on the bottom and then what would you multiply 3/4 by to get 12 on the bottom? Remember... you multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be 4 3 beac they go into 12 4 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right... now multiply the numerators by those numbers to get the new fractions with a denominator of 12. What are your two new fractions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 times 4 and3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you please just give me the answe and how u did it cuz i have to go to bed i dont wanna have a f

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, i'll help you out... to get a common denominator of 12... you would have to multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 4 to give you 8/12. You would then also have to multiply the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 3 to give you 9/12. Then you would add 8/12 + 9/12 to give you 17/12 or 1_5/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now go do that other one real quick with this information I have given you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k u can check then but wats the simplest form of 17/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the simplest form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k i got 7/6 for 2/3 and 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 7/6 for 2/3 and 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's Correct!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 12/20 for 1/4 and 3/5 i dont think dats rigth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

close, I got 17/20... 12/20 is just the equivalent fraction for 3/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wats soppose to be on top of the 20 on both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/20 and 12/20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i gt 20/8 for 3/4 and 3/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite... try again... the answer is 9/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat would be on both top of the 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6/8 and 3/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you wouldn't have to change the 3/8 because 4 goes into 8 evenly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k so would it simplest to 3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no your answer is 9/8 and that's simplest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it simplest form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know what you mean.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would 9/8 be simplest form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r is it already

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k i have to go bed but i have 4 more real fast

OpenStudy (anonymous):

brandus bougth 1/3 pound of ground turkey and 3/4 pound of ground beef to make sausages how many pounds of meat did he buy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just add 1/3 and 3/4... find your common denominator, multiply each fraction appropriately then add! Let me know!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 14/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does 4 and 3 go into 6 evenly? Try a common denominator of 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 13/12.... 4/12 + 9/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u can simplest form 13/12 rigth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is in simplest form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes 13/12 is in simplest form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to make a ribbon and bow for a hat stacey needs 5/6byaed black ribbon and 2/3 yard red ribbon how much total ribbon dose she have i got 20/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite... I got 18/12 which simplifies to 3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wats the two top and bottom number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10/12 and 8/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok mick, I have to go now to take an online exam! Good luck!
