Answer 4

So to add or subtract fractions, you should always start by converting them both so they both have the least common denominator. Do you know what that is?

Answer 5

You are to add
5/8 + 4/5
What is the common denominator?

Answer 6

I am kind of confused. So wolf. The answer is A right?

Answer 7

How do I find the Common domminator.

Answer 8

please help I am down to 10 minutes on this quiz

Answer 9

It seems you just want an answer?
Well think about this:
5/8 AND 4/5 are BOTH bigger than 1/2
so how can adding TWO numbers BOTH of which are bigger than 1/2 equal one half?

Answer 10

You should NOT ask questions for a quiz in OpenStudy - that's one of the rules.

Answer 11

Not at all, I just need to learn how to do this problem, I have a website that I can basically put the problem in and it will do it for ome but I need to figure it out before I can do that.

Answer 12

Wolf, this isn't a test. It is online credit recovery, the person who runs it encourages you to look up the answers, I am asking for help on it, not asking for answers.

Answer 13

Okay
The lowest common denominator is 40
5/8 = 25/40
4/5 = 32/40

25/40 + 32/40 = 57/40
= 1 + 17/40

Answer 14

Ok I figured it out, all I had to do was add both the fractions and get the answer in simplest form. I got a 90 on the test. Thanks
