Question

4/9+10/15

Answer 1

the answer is 1 and 1/9ths

Answer 2

how did you get that

Answer 3

You have to add them right? I plugged the fractions into my calculator. Then I double checked my answer by setting up my fractions so the denominators were the same.

Answer 4

10/15 can be simplified to 2/3 because both 10 and 15 are divisible by 5.
2/3 is equal to 6/9 . Multiple both 2 and 3 by 3.
6/9 + 4/9 = 10/9 which is the same as 1 and 1/9

Answer 5

okay thanks a lot

Answer 6

to do these by hand you need to find the lcd of 9 and 15
the lcd is the lowest common denominator
i e the lowest number into which both 9 and 15 can divide into exactly.

9 = 3 x 3
15 = 3 x 5
two of the 3's are common to both so you only use one of them
lcd = 3 x 3 x 5 = 45

now change each fraction so that 45 becomes the denominator

4/9 ;- multiply top and bottom by 5 giving 20/45
10/15:- multiply top and bottom by 3 giving 30/45

so we have 20/45 + 30 / 45 and now as the denominators are the same we just add top numbers;

result is 50 / 45
this can be simplified by dividing top bottom by 5
givivg
10/9

or 1 1/9

Answer 7

i could have simplified them first as rbliss did but i wanted to show you the general way of doing these using the lcd as well as the process of simplifying
