Exercise 34 Page 110

Practice makes perfect

When adding or subtracting fractions, they should have the same denominator. In this exercise, we have two fractions with different denominators. 5/12 + 1/3Since 12 is a multiple of 3, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 13 by 4 to create a common denominator.

5/12 + 1/3

ExpandFrac

a/b=a * 4/b * 4

5/12+1* 4/3* 4

Multiply

5/12+4/12

Now that we have a common denominator, we can proceed to simplifying the expression.

5/12+4/12

When adding or subtracting fractions, they should have the same denominator. In this exercise, we have two fractions with different denominators. 4/5 + 3/4Since 20 is a common multiple of 4 and 5, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 45 by 4 and multiply both the numerator and denominator of 34 by 5 to create a common denominator.

4/5 + 3/4

ExpandFrac

a/b=a * 4/b * 4

4* 4/5* 4 + 3/4

ExpandFrac

a/b=a * 5/b * 5

4 * 4/5 * 4 + 3* 5/4* 5

Multiply

16/20+15/20

Now that we have a common denominator, we can proceed to simplifying the expression.
