Question

what is 3 1/4 + 4 1/3

Answer 1

this is kinda the same as the last one but a lil more complex
what is 3 in terms of 1/4?

Answer 2

12/4, right?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

so then 3+1/4=?

Answer 5

i dont know im sorry

Answer 6

ok how about this

Answer 7

3 is 12/4. so what is \[\frac{ 12 }{ 4 }+\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]

Answer 8

12/4

Answer 9

13/4

Answer 10

so i meant 13

Answer 11

imagine if you had 12 quarters, right?

Answer 12

12 quarters is 12/4 dollars, right?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

and then you add one more quarter, now you have 13/4 dollars

Answer 15

so now that we know that 3 1/4=13/4, we're about half done with the question

Answer 16

if 3 in terms of 1/4 is 12/4, can you figure out what 4 is in terms of 1/3?

Answer 17

its 12/3.

Answer 18

do you see how i did that, or do you want me to explain it?

Answer 19

you had to see what they had in common right?

Answer 20

i havent gotten there yet
ive just been turning mixed fractions into improper

Answer 21

do you know how 3=12/4?

Answer 22

because since we have 3+1/4 in the first half of the question, we have to change that into just a fraction with no whole number, or else we wont be able to add the fractions

Answer 23

so since its 3+1/4, i went with 4 for the denominator, so you have basically (3/1)=(x/4)

Answer 24

do you know how to cross multiply?

Answer 25

i think

Answer 26

ok so basically \[\frac{ 3 }{ 1}=\frac{ x }{ 4 }\]

Answer 27

so multiply 1*x=3*4

Answer 28

so x=12

Answer 29

and plug that back in to x/4, so it equals 12/4

Answer 30

ok

Answer 31

ok so 3 1/4=13/4

Answer 32

can you figure out what 4 1/3 is in terms of 1/3?

Answer 33

using cross multiplication

Answer 34

(4/1)=(x/3) solve for x

Answer 35

4/3?

Answer 36

well cross multiply it so you have 1*x=4*3

Answer 37

then x=?

Answer 38

12

Answer 39

now plug 12 back into the original equation x/3

Answer 40

12/3

Answer 41

do you see how i did that?

Answer 42

yes

Answer 43

imagine if you have 4 apple pies

Answer 44

and you cut each pie into 3 equal pieces

Answer 45

how many pieces would you have?

Answer 46

9

Answer 47

4 pies. 3 pieces.

Answer 48

12

Answer 49

right. so 4 pieces in 3 pieces each is 12/3 pies

Answer 50

because you have 12 pieces, and 3 pieces per pie

Answer 51

lets try another example, lets say you have 5 dollars, and break it into quarters. how many quarters would you have?

Answer 52

Answer 55

(3 1/4)+(4 1/3)=(13/4)+(13/3)=(39/12)+(52/12)=91/12

Answer 56

thats for your first question

Answer 57

(3 3/4)+(1 3/5)=(15/4)+(8/5)=(75/20)+(32/20)=107/20

Answer 58

thats the second

Answer 59

its not my answer choices

Answer 60

for both of them?

Answer 61

ohh they probably made them mixed fractions again

Answer 62

on the 1st question my choices are 7 5/6, 7 1/2, 7 7/12, 7 4/7

Answer 63

right
so the first one is 7 1/2 and the second one is 5 7/20

Answer 64

wait wait
the first is 7 7/12

Answer 65

my bad lol

Answer 66

because 7=84/12, then 91/12= 7+7/12

Answer 67

well, (7)+(7/12) to be more clear but im sure you get me

Answer 68

the second one is 5 7/20 because 5=100/20 so 107/20=(5)+(7/20)

Answer 69

good? :)
