good now get a common denominator.

140

Answer 14

Ok so what do you have to multiply 14 by to get 140?

Answer 15

10

Answer 16

Yep so multiply both top and bottom (numerator and denominator) by 10 and what does the fraction become?

@Paynesdad

870/140? im starting to get confused with all this

No you are doing fine....

Answer 26

27/1400

Answer 28

27/1400 is not correct... but the other answer is.

Answer 30

ok im confused

Answer 31

you have 27/10 but you want the bottom number to be 140 what do you have to multiply 10 by to get 140?

Answer 32

14

Answer 33

@Paynesdad ?

Answer 34

Correct...so you multiply both the numerator and denominator (top and bottom) by 14)...what do you get?

Answer 35

im so confused now

Answer 36

can you explain in numbers instead of words

Answer 37

why confused... you have 27/10 but you want the bottom to be 140 so you need to multiply it by 14 (but whatever you multiply the bottom by you have to multiply the top by too)...so you need to do this...\[\left( \frac{ 27 }{ 10 } \right)\left( \frac{ 14 }{ 14 } \right)\]

Answer 38

What is that?

Answer 39

you lost me i just dont understand anymore its ok ill try and figure it out

Answer 40

so you have \[\frac{ 87 }{ 14 }t+\frac{ 27 }{ 10 }t\]
