OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

Okay im going try to guide you through it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok @pyxieyt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is kind of tricky for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know @LittleMissCreeper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it a multiple choice?

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

We need the fractions to have the same denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no....and ok

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

Can you find a way to make 9/10 or 7/20 common

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um... i think so :

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

You can multiply or divide to get a common one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

ill draw it out if you need me too :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i have to go i will be back in a few mins

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

Okay ill draw it out

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

We can make both of the denominators 20? Try to multiply to find out.

OpenStudy (scienceteen8):

hi im @Artteam12 sister she had to do the dishes but she is still going to work on this when she is done :) just letting u know bc she might not answer for a while

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

Okay, I attach the picture to guide her through :D

OpenStudy (scienceteen8):

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

OpenStudy (scienceteen8):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pyxieyt are you here?

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

Sorry internet was acting funny for a second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

We can make both of the denominators 20? Try to multiply to find out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

When you find out tell me and ill send next picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

You got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im working on it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/15?

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

Nope :D 10x?=20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh.... im not that good with fractions :(

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

Ill just send you the next part okay ( so you can understand) :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

9x2= 18 10x2=20

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

We wanted to make them both have the same denominator so it would be easier to subtract

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

What is 18/20 - 7/20 Remember when the denominators are the same do not subtract them. Only subtract numerators.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 11/20?

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

Yep!!!! Good job :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YAY!

OpenStudy (pyxieyt):

If you ever need more help just ask me! ill see if i can help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you :D
