simplify the complex expression?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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|
