OpenStudy (haichi):

13.42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (haichi):

You should add those two 12.25 and 6.33

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well 12 + 6 is 18..

OpenStudy (haichi):

Well it is 12.25 because 12 and one fourth is 12.25

OpenStudy (haichi):

It is Either A or B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm stuck really bad >.< I'm just gonna go with a.

OpenStudy (haichi):

Wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (haichi):

A simpler version is to convert both fractions to

OpenStudy (haichi):

improper fractions

OpenStudy (haichi):

Then get a common denominator

@RainbowBrony555

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm stuck idk xD

OpenStudy (haichi):

Well the closest answer I got was 13.5 because I rounded the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think the answer is? @ShootingStarz

OpenStudy (haichi):

Im srry >.>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it's okay haichi You helped lol and i think its either b or a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first, add the two given sides together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then, after getting your answer, subtract 32, what did you get?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

For you to solve this easily, you must convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

;-;

OpenStudy (yttrium):

That is \[12\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } = ??\] and \[6\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } = ??\]

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Do you know to convert those to its improper fractional forms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But How?!? Could i add those??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do i include the whole number??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please hurry i need to sleep soon, and i've been tryna get the answer for two hours ;-;

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

In general, to convert to improper fractions \[\large a\frac{b}{c} \rightarrow \frac{(a\times c) + b}{c}\]

OpenStudy (yttrium):

It seems that you got confused on the conversion of fraction itself. So let me teach you. To convert \[12\frac{1 }{ 4 }\] into improper fraction, you must multiply 12 and 4 and add the numerator (which. in this case, is 1). That will serve as your new numerator while your denominator will remain the same (which is 4).

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Mathematically, my explanation is similar to @johnweldon1993

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Now, do you understand it already?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, i multiplied 12 and 4 and got 48

OpenStudy (yttrium):

So what's the improper fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Add the numerator then it becomes 49

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll just do whatever answer this quiz isnt even that important but thanks anyways.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bye
