Question

how do u simplify mixed numbers

Answer 1

Find the lowest common denominator :)

Answer 2

Or do you mean mixed fractions?

Answer 3

mixed number
like 3 3/8 + 15 15/6

Answer 4

You would times 8 by 3 and add 3 and put that number on the top of 8. Then you would times 6 by 15 and add 15 and put it over 6. Then find a common denominator which would be 24. Then add the numerators! Ta dah!

Answer 5

So your answer would be 501/24. Make sense? Make sure to times the numerator by how many times your times the denominator was times to make it common.

Answer 6

1)First turn all the numbers in the equation into fractions
$$A \quad \dfrac{B}{C}=\dfrac{A*C+B}{C}$$
2)Then find the lowest common denominator(LCD) of all the fractions you need to add or to substract
$$\dfrac{A_1}{B_1}+\dfrac{A_2}{B_2}=\dfrac{A_1*\dfrac{LCD(B_1,B_2)}{B_1}+A_2*\dfrac{LCD(B_1,B_2)}{B_2}}{LCD(B_1,B_2)}$$

or simply do this
$$ \dfrac{A_1}{B_1}+\dfrac{A_2}{B_2}=\dfrac{A_1*B_2+A_2*B_1}{B_1*B_2}$$
But if you choose the second way after adding you might need to reduce the fraction you got.

Answer 7

they say the answer is 4

Answer 8

i do not get how they get that answer

Answer 9

3 3/8+15 15/6=(24+3)/8+(90+15)/6=27/8+105/6=(81+420)/24=501/24=67/8
