Example Question #1 :How To Add Fractions
I think the easiest way to do this problem is to make a common denominator. 4 is the smallest common denominator.
相当于.
When you addandyou get.
reduces toand is equivalent to.
Example Question #2 :How To Add Fractions
Evaluate:
The sum of two numbers of unlike sign is the difference of their absolute values, with the sign of the "dominant" number (the positive number here) affixed:
Subtract vertically by aligning the decimal points, making sure you append the 3.2 with a placeholder zero:
This is the correct choice.
Example Question #2 :How To Add Fractions
Evaluate:
Rewrite these numbers as improper fractions.
Now evaluate:
, so
Example Question #1 :How To Add Fractions
Add:
Rewrite using the lowest comon denominator. Since:
Example Question #5 :How To Add Fractions
When adding fractions, both denominators must be the same. A quick and easy way to do this is to multiply the numerator and the denominator of each fraction by the other fraction's denominator:
and
Theis multiplied by 6 on both ends because the denominator ofis 6. Likewise,is multiplied by 3 on both ends because the denominator ofis 3. The problem should now look like this:
Remember to reduce. 15 and 18 are both divisible by 3.
Your answer is.
Example Question #6 :How To Add Fractions
Add the following fractions and simplify, if possible.
In order to add fractions with different denominators, first find a common denominator of the fractions by finding the least common multiple. The least common multiple of these denominators is:
and.
Becausealready has the required denominator, nothing needs to be done to.
Since theinneeds to be multiplied byin order to getas the deonominator, multiply the numberator ofby.
The "new" addition problem is now:.
The answer to this question is therefore.
Becauseanddo not have a common factor, the answer cannot be simplified.
Example Question #7 :How To Add Fractions
To add two fractions, first find the common denominator. We can convertto., which reduces to.
Example Question #1 :How To Add Fractions
Find.
To add two fractions, first find the common denominator, then add the two numerators.
Example Question #9 :How To Add Fractions
Which of the following statements demonstrates the commutative property of addition?
None of the examples in the other responses demonstrates the commutative property of addition.
The commutative property of addition states that two numbers can be added in either order to obtain the same sum. Of the given responses, only
demonstrates this property, so it is the correct choice.
Example Question #1 :Associative Property Of Addition
Which of the following statements demonstrates the associative property of addition?
None of the examples in the other responses demonstrates the associative property of addition.
The associative property of addition states that to add three numbers, any two can be added first, followed by adding the sum to the third. Of the statements given, only
demonstrates this property, so it is the correct choice.
