You have to find the LCD
Of 7 and 5
Which is 35
29/35 is your answer :)
no let me explain the answer
This is an addition problem, so we need to find two equivalent fractions that have the same denominators. Then we can add the numerators together.
Step 2: Find a common denominator List the multiples of each denominator until a common number is found. Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 Now we know 35 is the least common denominator of 3/7 and 2/5.
Step 3: Write each fraction with the common denominator We want the denominator of each fraction to be 35. But we can't change the denominator without changing the numerator too. To find the new numerator of each fraction, use this formula: (Common Denominator ÷ Denominator) x Numerator = New Numerator Plug in the values of the first fraction into the formula: (35 ÷ 7) × 3 = 15 Re-writing the first fraction, we get 15/35. Plug in the values of the second fraction into the formula: (35 ÷ 5) × 2 = 14 Re-writing the second fraction, we get 14/35.
Step 4: Add the numerators and write over common denominator Add the first numerator and the second numerator together: 15 + 14 = 29 35 35 35 The fraction is in lowest terms, and it is proper, so we're done!
The LCD of 7 and 5 is 35, so you to get 35 with 7, you multiply it to 5, and you multiply 5 to the numerator also, which equals 15. So your first fraction is 15/35. To get 35 with 5, you multiply 5 to 7, and you multiply 7 to the numerator, which equals 14. So your second fraction is 14/35.
Hope that helped :) let me know if u need me to explain deeper
So your first fraction is 15/35, and your second fraction is 14/35. You just need to add the numerators. So what is 15 + 14?
so its 29/35
yes mam :)
um... medal please :)
