Question

Add:

2⁄4 + 3⁄5 + 6⁄8

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) Change the fractions so that they all have common denominators (2/4 --> 20/40, 3/5 --> 24/40, 6/8 --> 30/40)

2) Add the numerators together (74/40)

3) Simplify as necessary

Answer 2

Explanation:

Find LCM of 4,5,8 = 40

Then find equivalent fractions

2/4 = 2*10/4*10 = 20/40

3/5 = 3*8/5*8 = 24/40

6/8 = 6*5/8*5 = 30/40

20/40+24/40+30/40 = (20+24+30)/40

= 74/40 = 37/20
