ANOTHER BIG MEDAL ! :) Perform the following operation. Simplify if necessary. -5/9 + 3/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Saying "BIG MEDAL" won't really help. js Hm, do you know how to find the least common denominator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know it wont but i need to finish this, i have work i mean if i knew i would do it and dont ask..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No biggie, I know what you mean. I just really recommend you learn this, because if you don't get the basics math is gonna be even more difficult. Anyways, you could also try this fraction calculator. If you have a negative fraction like -5/9, make you to put -5 as numerator, and leave the denominator as a positive 9. http://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/math/fractions.php

Oh and remember to change the sign to what you need, in this case its +, but you can subtract divide and multiply fractions on it. It simplifies it for you.

-2 5/6 is this = 2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just a quick question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You mean 2(whole number) and 5/6 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well its 2 and 5/6... So it can't be just 2. Do you want it in an improper fraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well since is a mixed number i thought you mulutply the 2 times the six and add to the 5..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but since is a negative i dont know how to get rid of the mix number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do the same thing. (: Multiply the 6 times the -2 and add 5... all over 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so its 7/6??? i dont know ! gosh lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol its ok. What's 6 times -2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha its -12 :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right! So now just add 5 like you said.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thats -7 bc its a negative right????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep (: So what would your improper fraction be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7/6?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You got it (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jaja isnt that what i said ? in the beginning??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, you said 7/6 not -7/6 :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
