Answer 5

To add fractions, you'll have to make sure they share the same denominator before you add them. SO since yours do not share the same denominator, you'll need to find the lowest number that goes into both 10 and 4.

Answer 6

which would be 5 and 2

Answer 7

Yep, now when you multiply 4x5 and 10x2 to get 20, you'll have the same denominators.

Answer 8

And remember to apply the multiplication to the numerators too.

Answer 9

Right ^ then once you do that, you can add.

Answer 10

And when they say simplest you gotta simplify it too. You know how to do that right?

Answer 11

Nvm the result can't be simplified lol.

Answer 12

so it be 7/20 and 1/20?

Answer 13

You need to multiply the numerators too.

Answer 14

\[\frac{7 \times 2}{10 \times 2}\]

Answer 15

hmm

Answer 16

14 and 20

Answer 17

Yeah. Now do the same with 1/4 and then add.

Answer 18

I find this site really helpful to me when I don't understand something.

https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-fifth-grade-math/cc-5th-fractions-topic/cc-5th-add-sub-fractions/v/adding-fractions-with-unlike-denominators

If you click on that link, it has a video that shows you how to add fractions with different denominators like you're doing.



And yes, since you multiplied with the denominators, you have to do the same thing with the numerators. So what's \[7\times2\]and\[1\times5\]Those will be your new numerators.

Answer 19

1/8?

Answer 20

How did you get that?

Answer 21

oh wait never mind

Answer 22

\[\frac{14}{20} + \frac{1 \times 5}{4 \times 5} = \frac{?}{20}\]

Answer 23

14 5 and those my new denominators now

Answer 24

im not the best at fractions

Answer 25

14 and 5 are the new numerators.

Answer 26

Ok so what is 1 times 5?

And then 4 times 5?

Answer 27

5 and 20

Answer 28

So now you have \[\frac{ 14 }{ 20 }+\frac{ 5 }{ 20 }\]

Answer 29

The denominators will stay the same. You don't add them.

Answer 30

Now add that and you get?

Answer 31

19/20

Answer 32

Yes. Gj. :P

Answer 33

wait

Answer 35

I have 3 more qustions

Answer 36

Answer 38

I know when the denomntors are the same you don't change them

Answer 39

ok

Answer 40

Yep you're right :)
