Fractions
Estimate the sum or difference of the mixed numbers in these activities. 6 13/15 + 1 4/5=
Let's solve the fraction part first.
- First let's find the LCD or the number that can be divided by 15 and 5. So, the LCD of 15 and 5 is 15.
- Second, let's divide the LCD (15) by the denominator of the first fraction (15) and then let's multiply the numerator of the first fraction (13) so, 15 divide by 15 is 1 times 13 is 13, the same goes for the other 15 divide by 5 is 3 times 4 is 12.
- Last let's add them, 13 plus 12 is 25 then copy the denominator.
- Simplify
- Then, combine the whole and fraction parts
Therefore,
plus
is
