oh sorry :)
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
\[a \frac{ b }{ c }=\frac{ a*c+b }{ c }\]
\[1\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\]
\[2\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }=\frac{ 13 }{ 6 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do i make the denominators the same?
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
now multply \[\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }*\frac{ 13 }{ 6 }=\frac{ 3*13 }{ 6*2 }\]
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
no, you need to convert to improper fraction
