Question

would 4/17 be a proper fraction

Answer 1

Yes, yes it would.

Answer 2

An improper fraction would be something like 3/2. Three halves is really 1 whole and 1 half, right?

Right, Kainui. Any time the denominator is greater than the numerator, we have a proper fraction. Otherwise it is improper.

Answer 4

9. What is the sum of 2/5 and 2/4?

Answer 5

I don't know how to work these problems can someone explain please

Answer 6

Consider a common denominator of 4 and 5. A quick way to find a common denominator is to multiply the two denominators together: 4 * 5 = 20. Try rewriting both of the original fractions with a denominator of 20. For example, 2/5 = (2 * 4) / (5 * 4) = 8/20. Try writing the other fraction with a denominator of 20.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Not quite. 8/20 is the first fraction. Try writing the second fraction with a denominator of 20. Then you can add the two together.
