add them
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
You need to find GCF to make the denominators the same
OpenStudy (benlindquist):
oh really
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
@benlindquist it's not that simple
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/6=2/12

now add
OpenStudy (benlindquist):
so the gcf and the add the top and then reduce
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
?

You need to find the GCF and then use it to convert 1/6 so that it has a denominator of 12.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it 8/12

No it is not

Find the GCF of 6 and 12. Do you know how to do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
LCM*
I meant LCM not gcf

Actually a simpler way to do it would be to just divide the denominators.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
least common denominator
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
What do you get when you divide 12 by 6?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
Now multiply that into both numbers in 1/6

Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 1/6,7/12
Method 1: By Listing Multiples
List out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one.
6 : 6,12
12 : 12
Therefore, the LCD is 12
Method 2: By Prime Factors
List all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes.
6 : 2,3
12 : 2,2,3
Therefore, the LCD is 2×2×3=12
Make the denominators the same as the LCD
1×2/6×2 +7/12
Simplify. Denominators are now the same
2/12+7/12
Join the denominators
2+7/12
Simplify
9/12=?
Or you could just interrupt me and do everything for em that works too
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2/12

hello

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what is the ansswer
OpenStudy (crystal_bliss):
nope thats wrong it would be 3/4 because if you simplify 9/12 and 3 fits in to 9 3 times and for 12 3 goes into 12 4 time so your answer would be 3/4. do you see how i did that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but i dont want it in the simpeliest form
OpenStudy (crystal_bliss):
ok the answer is 3/4 but if you do not need it in simplest form than your answer would be 9/12.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you very much crystal
