Example Question #1091 : Hspt Mathematics
Add:
Since the denominator is alike, combine the numerators. Do not add the denominators.
Example Question #1092 : Hspt Mathematics
Add:
The denominators of the fractions are alike. This means we can add the numerators. The denominator will stay the same.
Example Question #1093 : Hspt Mathematics
Subtract:
First, find the common denominator. The common denominator is four.
Rewrite the fractions.
Example Question #1094 : Hspt Mathematics
Evaluate:
Find the common denominator. The common denominator is since
goes into
three times.
Rewrite the fraction.
Example Question #1095 : Hspt Mathematics
Add the following fractions:
To solve, simply find a common denominator and add.
Multiply the first fraction by to get 15 as the common denomintor and then add the numerators.
Thus,
Example Question #212 : Fractions
Which of the following is equal to the sum of and
?
The easiest way is to convert each fraction to a decimal first, then add. can be converted to a decimal by dividing 1 by 8;

Example Question #502 : Arithmetic
Which of the following is the least of the four?
so can be eliminated as the least of the four.
, which is equal to
, has as its reciprocal
, and:
so can be eliminated as the least of the four.
To find the least of the four, we only need to compare and
:
;
is the least of the four and is the correct choice.
Example Question #213 : Fractions
Solve:
To add fractions, they must have a common denominator.
Both and
have
as a multiple.
You must multiple the first fraction by to get
and the second by
to get
.
Then you just add the two numerators to get
.
Example Question #1096 : Hspt Mathematics
The lowest common denominator for and
is
. True or false?
True
False
False
Since is an actual factor of
, you can just use
as your common denominator which is less than
.
Example Question #1097 : Hspt Mathematics
