Possible Answers:

$\frac{10}{21}$

$\frac{20}{21}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{20}{21}$

Explanation:

Because the two fractions have the same denominator, simply add the numerators and leave the denominator as is:

$\frac{5}{21}+\frac{15}{21}=\frac{20}{21}$

Answer: $\frac{20}{21}$

Example Question #54 : How To Add Fractions

Which of the following statements demonstrates the commutative property of addition?

Possible Answers:

None of the examples in the other responses demonstrates the commutative property of addition.

2.5 + 0 = 2.5

2.5 + (-2.5) = 0

2.5 + 7.5 = 7.5 + 2.5

$2.5 + \left (7.5 + 5 \right ) = \left (2.5 + 7.5 \right ) + 5$

Correct answer:

2.5 + 7.5 = 7.5 + 2.5

Explanation:

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

2.5 + 7.5 = 7.5 + 2.5

demonstrates this property, so it is the correct choice.

Example Question #73 : How To Add Fractions

The time is now 10:38 PM. What time will it be in two hours and fifty-two minutes?

Possible Answers:

$1:30 \textrm{ AM}$

$1:20 \textrm{ AM}$

$12:30 \textrm{ AM}$

$1:40 \textrm{ AM}$

$12:40 \textrm{ AM}$

Correct answer:

$1:30 \textrm{ AM}$

Explanation:

It is now 10:38 PM. In 60-38 = 22 minutes, it will be 11:00 PM; in 52-22 = 30 minutes, the minutes will read 30, so the time will be 11:30 PM. In another two hours, the hours will read

$11+ 2 \mod 12 = 13 \mod 12 = 1$ ,

so the time will be 1:30 AM.

Example Question #57 : How To Add Fractions

Solve the expression.

$24(\frac{1}{12}+\frac{5}{6})$

Possible Answers:

None of these

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Start by solving for the term in parenthesis. We will need to find the least common denominator in order to add the fractions. Since 6 can be multiplied by 2 to get 12, 12 must be the least common denominator.

Convert the fractions so that they share a denominator of 12.

$\frac{5}{6}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{10}{12}$

$24(\frac{1}{12}+\frac{5}{6})=24(\frac{1}{12}+\frac{10}{12})$

Add the fractions in parenthesis.

$24(\frac{1+10}{12})=24(\frac{11}{12})$

Multiply.

$24(\frac{11}{12})=\frac{24}{1}\times\frac{11}{12}=\frac{24\times11}{1\times12}=\frac{264}{12}$

You can then simplify the fraction be removing 12 from both the numerator and denominator.

$\frac{264}{12}=\frac{264\div12}{12\div12}=\frac{22}{1}=22$

Example Question #57 : How To Add Fractions

Which of the following is the sum of five-sevenths and one-half?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{17}{14}$

$\frac{8}{7}$

$\frac{15}{14}$

The correct answer is not among the other responses.

$\frac{9}{7}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{17}{14}$

Explanation:

Since GCF (2,7)= 14 , express each fraction as its equivalent in fourteenths, and add the numerators, as follows:

$\frac{5}{7} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5 \times 2}{7 \times 2} + \frac{7 \times 1}{7 \times 2} = \frac{10}{14} + \frac{7 }{14} = \frac{10+7}{14} = \frac{17}{14}$

Example Question #58 : How To Add Fractions

Add the fractions:

$\frac{6}{58}+\frac{19}{58}=$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{25}{58}$

$\frac{11}{58}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{25}{58}$

Explanation:

Add the numerators and keep the denominator the same:

$\frac{6}{58}+\frac{19}{58}=\frac{25}{58}$

Answer: $\frac{25}{58}$
