texaschic101 · Answer

13/2 +47/6 (the common denominator is 6) To do this problem, you have to make both denominators 6. The 47/6 is ok, but you have to make the 13/2 have a denominator of 6.
13/2....how many times will 2 go into 6 ? It will go into 6, three times. Now you take your 3 and multiply it by the numerator, which is 13, and 13 x 3 = 39.Now you put your 39 over the new denominator. 
Your problem is now 39/6 + 47/6. The denominators have to be the same in order to add them. Do you understand ?
