Question

how do you add using mixed numbers without a commen denominator

Answer 3

then he or she must be very smart

Answer 4

that doesnt really help

Answer 5

it is part of our DIY project

Answer 6

you cannot add \(2\tfrac{1}{3}+4\tfrac{1}{4}\) without being able to add \(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\) and to do that you need to find a common denominator for \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Answer 7

DIY??

Answer 8

i knwo that i know how to add mixed number fractions
but my teacher said how to add them without a commen denominator
which i do not understand

Answer 16

maybe your teacher means add whole to whole and part to part

Answer 17

so there is no way to have a mixed number without a commen denominator
what do u mean by that

Answer 18

but you still have to add the fractional parts together

Answer 19

what do you mean by that?

Answer 20

can u give me a example

Answer 21

you can add
\[2\tfrac{1}{3}+5\tfrac{1}{2}\] by
\[2+5+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}\] but you still have to add the fractions

Answer 22

ohhh....

Answer 23

so what i mean is you do not have to rewrite each mixed number as an improper fraction and then add

Answer 24

i really do not know what she is asking but if i try that then we are presenting this to the calss so i do not wanna look dumb

Answer 25

but you still have to find a common denominator for the fractional parts

Answer 26

ok do u know what a negative value fraction is?

Answer 27

say you want to add
\[1002\tfrac{1}{3}+120\tfrac{1}{2}\]

Answer 28

its okkkk!

do u knwo what a negative value fraction is

Answer 29

yes, a negative number that is a fraction, like say \(-\frac{1}{3}\)

Answer 30

what????
not understanding
my friend says it is -5 over 3

Answer 31

but i dont understand her either

Answer 32

i am really good in math but i hate fractions

Answer 33

the minus sign does not live in the numerator or the denominator.
\[\frac{-5}{3}=\frac{5}{-3}=-\frac{5}{3}\] they are all the same

Answer 34

just a negative number that happens to be a fraction, not in integer

Answer 35
