20/60 =2/6=1/3 is doesn't equal to 10/10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok then what should it be 20/20 = 1/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
20/20=1/3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
20/20=1/1 =1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer is 1 correct. so 24/32=8/8=/34 correct

that 3/4
myininaya (myininaya):
how are you getting everything equals one?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[ 32= (2*2*2*2*2)\]
\[24=2*2*2*3\]
myininaya (myininaya):
anything you have the same number over the same number it is one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
24/32 = 2*2*2*3/(2*2*2*2*2)= 3/(2*2)=3/4

ok so my answer to the problem 24/34 is 3/4 correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but you can't write 24/34=8/8
myininaya (myininaya):
oh i know what he meant now hes dividing top and bottom by 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok. but the way my teacher wrote the example was 21/28 = 7/7= 3/4

don't do it. its incorrect. and your teacher did she/he is incorrect
OpenStudy (anonymous):
21/28 * 7/7 maybe?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
maybe it was a type incorrect. let me try on more. 50/75 =2/3
myininaya (myininaya):
correct!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 31/93 = 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):
how about adding fractions? can you help me with that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
6/11 + 3/22 = would that be 9/33 = 3/11

I would assume the teacher meant to write
divided by 7/7 you can divide any number by one and it does not change its value.
OpenStudy (radar):
6/11 +3/22 is not 9/33
6/11 X 2/2 =12/22 now you can add 12/22 + 3/22= 15/22
OpenStudy (radar):
Although if it was 9/33 it does equal 3/11
