Does the phrase, "find a common denominator" ring any bells?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (opcode):

Awesome let's start off with a simple addition fraction that has a common denominator: \[\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{3}\] Do you know how to do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/3 + 7/2 LCD would be 6... 5+7/6 = 12/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SAT's are next month

OpenStudy (opcode):

What you do to the bottom you must do to the top. (So if you times the denominator by two you must do the same to the numerator.)
