first, make the fractions improper
OpenStudy (liciagrl911):
How do I do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
theyd be 17/14 and -13/7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for 1 3/14, you would multiply 1 x 14 and then add it to the numerator (3)
OpenStudy (liciagrl911):
Add what to the numerator?

so 1x 14 = 14. add 14 to the numerator which is 3. then put that number over the denominator which is 14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then for the second one, 7*-2+1 over the denominator, 7
OpenStudy (liciagrl911):
Okay so 3/4 and the second one is -13/7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so your problem is now 17/14 -(-13/7). but before you solve for a common denominator, you can cross the negatives to make it 17/4 + 13/7
OpenStudy (liciagrl911):
That would make it 4/3 right?

since 7 goes into 14, 14 is your common denominator. do 13*2 and 7*2 for equality purposes. so now, it would be 17/14+26/14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@liciagrl911 no bc its already simplified
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so add those together to get : _____
OpenStudy (liciagrl911):
43/14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
good. now can you simplify that? does anything go into 14 as well as 43?

I don't know :( a nd how do I turn it into a proper fraction?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how many times does 14 go into 43?
OpenStudy (liciagrl911):
0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
haha no, it goes in 3 times. 14 x 3 = 42 . you have 1 left over... so the answer is 3 1/14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
booyah
