Hint: (2 + 4) + (1/18 + 3/4) Add the whole numbers separately, then add the fractions separately

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 2/36+27/39?

hero (hero):

Do you know how to add 1/18 + 3/4? Because that's the only thing that is supposedly difficult about this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not sure.

hero (hero):

Isn't 36 the LCD of 4 and 18?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dont you need to find LCD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

hero (hero):

Ya, I just mentioned something about that

hero (hero):

Okay, so what's the problem? If you can't add fractions, you should go back and learn how to do that before attempting to solve these kinds of problems.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be 2/36+27/36 right?

hero (hero):

Yes, but re-write it in the context of the entire problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

29/36?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 29/36?

hero (hero):
