Divide the Donomanaters to gether and what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its 12 because 1/12 cant be shrunk but 3/4 can be grown

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to get it you have to divide/simplify the Problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4 = 9/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it is it might be 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oo yah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need common denominators now you have 1/12 & 9/12 so the LDC is 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you maltiply anmd get it not divide.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Therefore the answer is A. above is the explanation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to multiply the lower Demonanator to get it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need a LDC to add or subtract fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep
