Question

aleena has a watering can. she uses 3/8 gallonto water her roses and1/3 gallon to water the geraniums . How much water did. Aleena use to water both thermoset and geraniums?

Answer 1

the answer is simple to work out you do 3/8 + 1/3

but the denominators are different so you find the lowest common multiple in this case 24 .
the frection is now 9/24 + 8/24 this is 17/24
I changed the fraction by doing this 24(common multiple) divided by 8 (denominator) that's how I got it if you don't understand just ask me
