Question

can someone help

Answer 1

Do you understand what the question is asking you to add?

Answer 2

a little

Answer 3

It is saying that the plant grew 1/16in the first week and 3/16in the second week. To get the total, you have to add these two fractions and simplify.

Answer 4

3/256

Answer 5

No, that's multiplying. To add fractions, the denominator stays the same but you add the numerator.

Answer 6

lol true

Answer 7

4/16 does not simplify to 4.

Answer 8

1/4

Answer 9

Right, 1/4. Good job!

Answer 10

can u help wit more

Answer 11

Sure.

Answer 12

ok thx

Answer 14

Answer 15

B?

Answer 16

Since she used 1/3lb, you subtract that from the initial amount which was 5/8 pound. Then you just have to find a common denominator and subtract.

Answer 17

common denominator is 24

Answer 18

So it would be:
\[\frac{ 5 }{ 8 }-\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 19

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 12 }\]

Answer 20

you do 15/24 minus 8/24

Answer 21

which gives you 7/24

Answer 22

1/12

Answer 23

So the common denominator is 24 like ninaa said. To get both to have the same denominator you have to multiply the 5/8(3/3) and the 1/3(8/8) then subtract. Is that what you did?

Answer 24

im done wit tht one

Answer 25

yes, and then once you subtract that is the final form of the fraction because there aren't any numbers that are able to go to both 7 and 24

Answer 26

Answer 27

B

Answer 28

b?

Answer 29

you find a common denominator as well, which is 12, then you get 4/12 and 5/12 which is 9/12 and you can simplify that to 3/4

Answer 30

1/3 (4/4) and the other fraction stays the same since the denominator is 12

Answer 31

7/40

Answer 32

its not 7/40

Answer 33

you find a common denominator once again and then you subtract the fractions since its asking for the difference

Answer 34

4/5 (8/8) and then 5/8 (5/5) then subtract

Answer 35

^_^

Answer 36

A

Answer 37

find the common denominator and then add the fractions because its saying in all which is adding

Answer 38

Jeremy: the topic here is "addition and subtractin of fractions." The main principle here is that the fractions you wish to combine must have the same denominator, which we call the "Lowest Common Denominator." Somone helped you with your first post. Pelase go back and review that, and then, please show the rest of us the actual work you'd do to find your answer.

Answer 39

?

Answer 40

show us please how you'd find the answer to these problems

Answer 41

if we keep telling you the answers, you'll never learn

Answer 42

Jeremy: Please do some work and share your efforts with the rest of us. Time for you to get involved.

Answer 43

?_?

Answer 44

Jeremy, if you're not willing to get involved, if you don't ask questions, if you don't show any of your own work, then perhaps OpenStudy is not the place for you.
