Example Questions
Example Question #485 : Arithmetic
Find 
To add two fractions, first find the common denominator, then add the two numerators.
Example Question #2 : Commutative Property Of Addition
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 #4 : 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.
Example Question #486 : Arithmetic
Which of the following is the sum of sixty-nine tenths, sixty-nine thousandths, and sixty-nine ten-thousandths?
Sixty-nine tenths, sixty-nine thousandths, and sixty-nine ten-thousandths can be rewritten as 6.9, 0.069, and 0.0069, respectively. Add, appending zeroes at the end of each number as needed:
Example Question #671 : Numbers And Operations
Which of the following statements demonstrates the inverse property of addition?
None of the examples in the other responses demonstrates the inverse property of addition.
The inverse property of addition states that for every real number, a number exists, called the additive inverse, such that the number and its inverse have sum 0. Of the statements given, only
demonstrates this property, so it is the correct choice.
Example Question #11 : How To Add Fractions
Which of the following statements demonstrates the identity property of addition?
None of the examples in the other responses demonstrates the identity property of addition.
The identity property of addition states that there is a number 0, called the additive identity, that can be added to any number to yield that number as the sum. Of the four statements,
demonstrates this property.
Example Question #672 : Numbers And Operations
Which of the following is the sum of two-thirds and one-fifth?
Since 
Example Question #1081 : Hspt Mathematics
Find the sum of the following:
To get the decimal from a fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator
Example Question #493 : Arithmetic
Solve:
The numerators of a fraction cannot be added or subtracted if their denominators are different.
Find the least common denominator, or LCD, by multiplying the denominators together.
Both fractions share the common denominator 28. The numerator must multiply with what was multiplied by their denominator to get the LCD. Rewrite the fractions.
Subtract the numerators. Remember, the denominator does not change when we add or subtract fractions.
Example Question #494 : Arithmetic
Simplify:
The denominators must be like before the numerators can be subtracted.
Find the least common denominator, which is 12.
Remember, when creating common denominators you must multiply the numerator by the same number that you multiplied the denominator by to get the common denominator.
