OpenStudy (medina13):

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok, rule of exponents to multiply exponents you need to add x^a . x^b = x^a+b

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so the only thing you have to do is add the fraction

OpenStudy (medina13):

So i add 4/3 and 1/3

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

yes

OpenStudy (medina13):

i got 5/6 ?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

you have 4 1 ----- + --- 3 3

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

what is the common denominator

OpenStudy (medina13):

3 ?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok, so to add fraction you find the common denominator in this case both have 3 so you just add the top
