Answer 1

Problem

Divide the following fractions. You can draw bar models or do direct computation to get the quotient.

1. 5/8 + 1/4 = n

2. 3/10 + 5/6 = n

3. 8/15 + 4/5 = n​

Solution

1.

`(5)/(8)\cdot(4)/(1)=(20)/(8)=(5)/(2)`

2.

`(3)/(10)\cdot(6)/(5)=(18)/(50)=(9)/(25)`

3.

`(8)/(15)\cdot(5)/(4)=(40)/(60)=(2)/(3)`
