To add or subtract fractions, they need to have the same denominator.
157/15
Before we can evaluate a sum or difference involving mixed numbers, the mixed numbers must first be rewritten as fractions.
| a bc | a* c+b/c | Simplify |
|---|---|---|
| 6 23 | 6* 3+2/3 | 20/3 |
| 3 45 | 3* 5+4/5 | 19/5 |
In this exercise, we have two fractions with different denominators.
a/b=a * 5/b * 5
a/b=a * 3/b * 3
Multiply
Now that we have a common denominator, we can proceed to simplifying the expression.
