theres ur common denominator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so then i do 1 3/60 + 8 1/60 + 7 4/60?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no u need to find a number that if u multiplied it by 4 u get 60
so
4x__=60
what goes in the blank?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
we was taught to line them up in my day
1 3/4
8 1/3
7 4/5
------
16+N
\[\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{4}{5} = N \text{ ; *20}\]
\[\frac{3(20)}{4}+\frac{1(20)}{3}+\frac{4(20)}{5} = 20N \text{ ; reduce}\]
\[\frac{3(5)}{1}+\frac{1(20)}{3}+\frac{4(4)}{1} = 20N \text{ ; *3}\]
\[\frac{3(5)(3)}{1}+\frac{1(20)(3)}{3}+\frac{4(4)(3)}{1} = 20(3)N \text{ ; reduce}\]
\[\frac{3(5)(3)}{1}+\frac{1(20)(1)}{1}+\frac{4(4)(3)}{1} = 60N \text{ ; re-write}\]
\[45+20+36 = 60N \text{ ; add}\]
\[101 = 60N \text{ ; divide of the 60}\]
\[\frac{101}{60} = N \text{ ; divide of the 60}\]
OpenStudy (amistre64):
change N to a mixed numeral by dividing it out

so the answer is 1 41/60?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
16 + N
16 + (1 + 41/60) = 17' 41/60 if you did the division right ;)
