Question

3/2+(-7/3)

Answer 1

Hey there :)
We trying to add fractions?\[\large\rm \frac{3}{2}+\left(-\frac{7}{3}\right)\]

Answer 2

ya. I suck with fractions and forgot how to add them

Answer 3

Fractions are parts of a whole.
The denominator tells us how the whole is being split up,
the numerator tells us how many of those pieces we have.

So the 3/2 is telling us:
Imagine a circle, split it into two pieces.
We have 3 of those.

We can't easily add things together when the wholes are not cut into the same number of pieces.

Ok I'm rambling on and on and on
I should probably just get to the point :) My bad

Answer 4

We need a `common denominator`

Answer 5

Haha it's ok. And 6?

Answer 6

6 seems good.

So it looks like the first fraction needs a 3 in the bottom.
We have to give it a 3 in the top as well though, to keep it balanced.

Answer 7

Okay

Answer 8

\[\large\rm \frac{3\cdot3}{3\cdot2}+\left(-\frac{7}{3}\right)\]Giving us\[\large\rm \frac{9}{6}+\left(-\frac{7}{3}\right)\]

Answer 9

How bout the other fraction?
Can you follow those steps and try to fix the other one?

Answer 10

I think so

Answer 11

-14/6

Answer 12

You gave it a 2 in the top and bottom?
Ok good.

Answer 13

\[\large\rm \frac{9}{6}+\left(-\frac{14}{6}\right)\]
