Answer 5

Okay. When you're adding fractions the denominator has to be the same. Right now it's not. So what's the least common multiple of 8 and 5?

Answer 6

(3 + 3/8) + (1 + 4/5)
3 3/8 + 1 4/5
Find the least common denominator and then you should have it there. Any help, mention.

9 14/20 can be divided by two.
You only simplified the denominator. Make sure you also simplify the numerator. So try it again.

I meant to write 7/14....
SHOULD I SIMPLIFY 9 14/40 OR NOT???
all I need to make sure is dat....
