OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SuperflyTyGuy are you there

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay :)

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

First find the LCD of the fractions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Exactly!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21/24 16/24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

You got it! Subtract that and you got 5/24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that the answer?

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

I think so, I can't see your options so...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the answer

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Cool!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. pound B. pound C. pound D. pound

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait DO NOT LEAVE another question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mason walked mile before lunch and mile after lunch. How many miles did he walk in all? A. mi B. mi C. mi D. 1 mi

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Np, all it says is pound for all of the answers. But you can't simplify 5/24. I believe it's the answer

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Okay sure

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Again, I can't see the miles walked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. 2/5 B. 3/4 C. 11/12 D. 1 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Miles walked :)

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

How many did Mason walk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mason walked 1/3 mile before lunch and 5/12 mile after lunch.

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Okay, all you need to do is find the LCD for 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3 = 4/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/12 + 5/12 = 9/12

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Exactly, now simplify that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4 right

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

You got it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Some more questions

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

What else do you need help on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The base of a triangle is 5/8 ft. The height is 1/3 ft. How much greater is the base of the triangle than the height?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here you go :)

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Okay, well we know that 5/8 = 15/24, and 1/3 = 8/24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/24

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

15/24 - 8/24

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Yep :)

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10/15 9/15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

The question says HOW MANY which means we need to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add

OpenStudy (superflytyguy):

Exactly!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
