@Miracrown im stuck again hahah agh.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
the top fraction realize that they a common denominator
so what do you do
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just subtract so that would be 1/5b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the bottom part has got me confused as well as what to do with it after! hah

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
okay good
the bottom part
the common denominator is 12b
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
1/4b + 2/3b=3/12b +8/12b
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
now there is common denominator what do you need to do
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ah okay so then you just add them and get 11/12b
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
yeah

and then after that what would you do? do you have to factor or something
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
now what should you do
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
well you have 1/b on top and bottom
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so we need to cancel that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh okay so you cancel them out

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
\(\Huge \frac{\frac{1}{5b}}{\frac{11}{12b}}=\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{11}{12}}\)
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
that's what you get when you cancel
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay and then|dw:1420852951313:dw|
