Adding the fractions

3/14+2/21+1/6


Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{10}{21}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of 14, 21 and 6 is 42

We require to change the fractions to fractions with a denominator of 42

[tex]\frac{3(3)}{14(3)}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2(2)}{21(2)}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1(7)}{6(7)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{9}{42}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{4}{42}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{7}{42}[/tex] ← add the numerators, leaving the denominator

= [tex]\frac{9+4+7}{42}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{20}{42}[/tex] ← divide both values by 2

= [tex]\frac{10}{21}[/tex] ← in simplest form
