ANSWERS: 7
  • First, you need to make the bottom part of the fractions ( the denominators ) the same. In your example, 3/4 = 6/8 ( double both numbers ). So you are left with 3/8 + 6/8 , simply add them, = 9/8 = 1 1/8
  • Look for the least common denominator. In this case, it is 8. 3/8 + 6/8 = 9/8 Which gives you an improper fraction. To simplify, divide 9 by 8, which results in 1 1/8
  • cut of parts of your fingers then you can count on your hands =D

  • look at the bottom number (denominator) of both fractions and if they are not the same number find the lowest common denominator (usually you can do this by multiplying them together) and then multiply the top number by the same as you did the bottom then they are ready to add. example: (34) + (2/3) (lowest common denominator is 12) so we multiply (3*3) / (4*3) to get (9/12) and multiply (2*4)/ (3*4) to get (8/12) then you just add across to get 17/12 do you get it?
  • 1/2"+1/2"=1" 3/4"+1/4"=1/2" 7/8"+1/8"=1"
  • First, you need to find common denomininators. For now, just forget about the top number. (The numerator) Well, looking back at 8 and 4, the common denomiator is 8 because 8 is divisible by both 8 and 4. Then, you say how many times 8 can go into 8. That is 1, so you multipy the numerator (3), by the denominator (1). Then, do the same for 3/4. 4 can go into 8 the common denominator 2 times, so you multiply 3 (the numerator) by 2. That gives you (6). Now that you have common denominators, (8), you revise your new problem. (3/8 + 6/8). Now, you are free to just add! Add the numerators (3+6=9) and leave the denominators (8). SO, your answer is now (9/8)!!! Yay! You are done, unless you want to turn your answer into a mixed number which will now be 1 and 1/8. You are finally finised with a simple problem such as 3/8 + 3/4. !!!!! HURRAY FOR YOU!!!! :)
