Question

How to do the problem

Answer 1

Take your question 6/7 + 4/8, and find a common denominator. 7 and 8 both go in to 56, so set both denominators to 56.

The question now reads 6/56 + 4/56.

Multiply the numerator by the number of times the denominator was multiplied to get to the common denominator. 8 goes into 56 7 times, and 7 goes into 56 8 times.

Therefor:

7 x 8 = 56, and 8 x 7 = 56.

Now multiply the numerator by the amount of times the denominator went into the common denominator.

8 x 6 = 48 and 7 x 4 = 28.

So 48/56 and 28/56.

We could then simplify, by dividing both sides by the same number.

12/14

7/14

Then add the numerators only.

That would give us 19/14

Hope that helps, :D.

Answer 2

19/14

Explanation:

6/4+4/8

to solve that multiply the denominator on the left with 8 and the one on the right with 7 to make them equivalent and do the same for the numerator so now its 76/56 so now just simplified as much as possible will be 19/14
