Example Question #161 : Operations With Fractions And Whole Numbers

Solve:

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{4}{8}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{12}5{}$

$\frac{8}{6}$

$\frac{5}{12}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{4}{8}$

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

$\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{8}$

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.

$\frac{2}{8}+\frac{4}{8}=\frac{6}{8}$

$\frac{6}{8}\div\frac{2}{2}=\frac{3}{4}$

Example Question #162 : Operations With Fractions And Whole Numbers

Solve:

$\frac{4}6{+\frac{3}{8}}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{24}{25}$

$\frac{7}{14}$

$1\frac{1}{24}$

$\frac{25}{48}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

Correct answer:

$1\frac{1}{24}$

Explanation:

$\frac{4}6{+\frac{3}{8}}$

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

$\frac{4}{6}\times\frac{4}{4}=\frac{16}{24}$

$\frac{3}{8}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{9}{24}$

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.

$\frac{16}{24}+\frac{9}{24}=\frac{25}{24}$

$\frac{25}{24}=1\frac{1}{24}$ because can go into one time with left over.

Example Question #1581 : How To Add

Solve:

$\frac{7}8{+\frac{2}{4}}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{8}{11}$

$1\frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{11}{16}$

$\frac{16}{11}$

$\frac{9}{12}$

Correct answer:

$1\frac{3}{8}$

Explanation:

$\frac{7}8{+\frac{2}{4}}$

In order to solve this problem, we first have to find common denominators. $\frac{2}{4}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{4}{8}$

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.

$\frac{7}{8}+\frac{4}{8}=\frac{11}{8}$

$\frac{11}{8}=1\frac{3}{8}$ because can go into one time with left over.

$\frac{3}{5}+\frac{1}3$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{4}{8}$

$\frac{14}{15}$

$\frac{14}{30}$

$\frac{13}{15}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{14}{15}$

Explanation:

$\frac{3}{5}+\frac{1}3$

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

$\frac{3}5{} \times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{9}{15}$

$\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{5}{5}=\frac{5}{15}$

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.

$\frac{9}{15}+\frac{5}{15}=\frac{14}{15}$
