Answer 19

@kelliegirl33 he is not replying, I don';t know why

Answer 20

oh well...I tried....he probably just wants the answer

Answer 21

yes kellie, that is a good way. But if you have only learned about adding fractions by finding a common denominator, it may not make sense the first time you see it.

As you can see blaser is not comfortable with these problems... I try to guess what he may know....

Answer 22

I understand.....baby steps first

I'm probably just confusing him...i am sorry
