2 Add the given fractions. Write the answers in the simplest form

A. 18/16 and 22/24 =
B. 23/13 and 42/15 =
C. 27/16 + 15/12 = ​

Answer 1

A. 18/16 + 22/24 = 49/24

B. 23/13 + 42/15 = 297/65

C. 27/16 + 15/12 = 47/16

Explanation:

18/16 + 22/24

= 54/48 + 44/48

= 98/48

= 49/24

…………………

23/13 + 42/15

=(23×15)/(13×15) + (42×13)/(13×15)

= 345/195 + 546/195

= 891/195 (divide both sides by 3)

= 297/65

……………………………………

27/16 + 15/12

= 81/48 + 60/48

= 141/48 (divide both sides by 3)

= 47/16
