Question

Ali completed 1/3 of her homework on Friday and 1/4 of her homework on Saturday. She told her mother she is almost done. Is she correct? Please explain your answer.​

Answer 1

Yes, she is almost done

Explanation:

We can find the common denominator of these fractions, then add them.

1/3=4/12

1/4=3/12

Then we add the two, and round it up either up or down, depending if it is above 1/2. 6/12 is equal to 1/2, and 4/12+3/12 is 7/12 which is greater than 1/2, so she is almost done.
