Question

Jeanie drank 1/3 cup of juice and Harry drank 1/4
cup of juice.

How much juice did they drink altogether?

Answer 1

Add the fractions, first we need a common denominator, which is 12.

\(\dfrac{1}{3} \rightarrow \dfrac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 4} \rightarrow \dfrac{4}{12}\)

\(\dfrac{1}{4} \rightarrow \dfrac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 3} \rightarrow \dfrac{3}{12}\)

Add them:

\(\dfrac{4}{12} + \dfrac{3}{12} \rightarrow \dfrac{4 + 3}{12}\)

Answer 2

Add 4 + 3 @TheEdwardsFamily
