Question

im a little rusty on my math im taking a college algebra class can i get some help with this?smplify 25/6 +7/2

Answer 1

Hint: common denominator

Answer 2

To add two fractions, make the denominators of both the fractions same. In this case, since 6 can be seen as 2x3, it is advisable to modify 7/2 as 7*3/2*3, which gives you 21/6. Now adding with 25/6 gives you (25+21)/6 = 46/6

Answer 3

ok thankyou so much! wat about multiplying or example 9/8*5/12......would i do the same?
