Example Question #1 : Add Fractions With Unlike Denominators

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2}{6}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{2}{4}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$

In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators.

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{4}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can add the fractions. Remember, when we add and subtract fractions, we only add or subtract the numerator.

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{11}{14}$

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{7}$

In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators.

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{7}{7}=\frac{7}{14}$

$\frac{2}{7}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{4}{14}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can add the fractions. Remember, when we add and subtract fractions, we only add or subtract the numerator.

$\frac{7}{14}+\frac{4}{14}=\frac{11}{14}$

$\frac{1}{12}$

$\frac{1}{0}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{12}$

Explanation:

$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}$

In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators.

$\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{9}{12}$

$\frac{2}{3\time}\times\frac{4}{4}=\frac{8}{12}$
