@Vocaloid

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

convert (-5/6) to have a denominator of 18

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

(multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry had to refresh what do I multiply again?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

-5 is the numerator 6 is your denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I got 15/54, which I don't know if I got it right

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

-5*3 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-15

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, now 6*3=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 18

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, so -5/6 = -15/18, agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Agree.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

then we just add (-15/18)+(6/18)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21/18

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

-15+6 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean -21/18

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

still not right -15+6 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-9

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, so (-15/18)+(6/18) = (-9/18) = -1/2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

lets move on to the next one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

start by adding the fractions (3/10) + (1/5) = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I start by finding their LCD which is 10

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yeah, keep going

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

change 1/5 to 2/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 2/10 plus 3/10?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay it's 5/10 = 1/2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, now we add in the 6 and 7

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

to get 13 and 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that for 9?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

no, we're still on 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhhhh 13 1/2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I'm ready for the next one when you are.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, find the LCD of 2 and 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its 12

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good, now convert 1/2 to 6/12 and then subtract.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

great!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/12 - 6/12 is 1/2

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

1/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12*

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yup :P
