3. Tell whether the sum is correct in the equation. If not, explain why. (
1/4+3/5=4/9)
4. Show how you will get the sum: 2/8+5/8=
5. Show how you will find the difference: 4/9-3/18=

Sagot :

Answer:

1. simply add the numerator of the fractions. e.g 1/2 +3/2 since both have the denominator (2), you can add their respective numerators. (1+3)/2 = 4/2 = 2.

2. ) you can add or subtract dissimilar fractions by getting the LCM of their denominators. and multiply numerator and denominator by their LCM.

3.) Not correct, answer is: 17/20

1/4+3/5

since the LCM of 4 and 5 is 20, we multiply the top and bottom to be 20

- (5+12)/20

- 17/20

4.) 7/8

2/8 + 5/8 have the same denominator (8) so we can add their numerators 2 and 5 respectively.

(2+5)/8

- 7/8

5.) 5/18

4/9 - 3/18 have different denominators 9 and 18. but since 18 is a multiple of 9. we can simply multiply 4/9 by 2/2 and we'll get 8/18.

now we have the same denominator we can subtract their numerators 8 and 3 respectively

(8-3)/18

- 5/18
