I'm pondering...

Answer 12

kk take ur time

Answer 13

so done pondering?

Answer 14

we have these quantities:
6 2/3 = 20/3 cups;
3 1/2= 7/2 cups;
4 3/4 = 19/4 cups,
so in total we have:
\[\frac{{20}}{3} + \frac{7}{2} + \frac{{19}}{4} = ...?\]
plese complete that computation

Answer 15

@leovaldez

Answer 16

yes?

Answer 17

and how do u simplify it?

Answer 18

what is the least common multiple of 3, 2 and 4?

Answer 19

? idk

Answer 20

hint:
\[\begin{gathered}
4 = {2^2} \times 1 \hfill \\
3 = 3 \times 1 \hfill \\
2 = 2 \times 1 \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]

Answer 21

you have to pick all common and uncommon factors with the highest exponent

Answer 22

what is the ans im tired i can't think

Answer 23

i need 2 sleep but not b 4 this work is done i have 2 more

Answer 24

I'm sorry, I can not give the direct answer, since I have to respect the Code Of Conduct

Answer 25

oh im sorry i wasn't thinking see im so tired

Answer 26

\[\frac{{20}}{3} + \frac{7}{2} + \frac{{19}}{4} = ...? \] we can't add these fractions until they have a common denominator.

Answer 27

okkkkk

Answer 28

i did it

Answer 29

so i don't get it

Answer 30

huh?

Answer 31

i added them but it needs 2 b simplifyed

Answer 32

what is your result? @leovaldez

Answer 33

46 over 9

Answer 34

if you're just adding numerators without finding the least common denominator....I don't believe this.

Answer 35

wat?

Answer 36

I know where you got that 9 from
9 = 3+2+4

I said you can't add these fractions because they have different denominators. All of the denominators have to be the same

Answer 37

so how do i do that?

Answer 38

find the least common denominator.. or you can just grab all the denominators and multiply them out.

Answer 39

and then figure out what two numbers are missing for each fraction .

Answer 40

i know i sound dumb but hey im super tired it's 11:20 where i amggggggggggggggggg lyufhhhhhhhhhhhhkefhyxfyhfgeyx.fylefyglf

Answer 41

and I don't want to get in trouble in front of a qualified helper.

Answer 42

sorry im awake im awake!

Answer 43

@leovaldez please complete these computations:
\[\begin{gathered}
\frac{{20}}{3} = \frac{{20 \times 4}}{{3 \times 4}} = ... \hfill \\
\hfill \\
\frac{7}{2} = \frac{{7 \times 6}}{{2 \times 6}} = ... \hfill \\
\hfill \\
\frac{{19}}{4} = \frac{{19 \times 3}}{{4 \times 3}} = ... \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]

Answer 44

ok

Answer 45

there

Answer 46

did it

Answer 47

what did you get?
