Question

WHICH FRACTION IS EQUIVALENT TO 5/6+7/8?
A35/48
B6/7
C20/21
D41/24

Answer 1

Have you considered adding them? Common Denominator?

Answer 2

So, we should fine common denominators and solve this ourselves before looking at the answers. One common denominator is 48 (6*8), so lets do that.
\[5/6+7/8=(5/6)(8/8)+(7/8)(6/6)=(40/48)+(42/48)=(82/48)\]
Since this isn't re, we must reduce.\[1(34/48)=1(17/24)\]
The answer is not there, which is odd, b/c even if you don't find a common denominator, you know that the fraction will exceed 1/1; it will have a while number.

Answer 3

Are you sure its addition and not subtraction?

Answer 4

YEAH
