3/4 + 4/7 + 3/4
plz help​

Sagot :

Answer:

29/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by working out the LCM of these (or any common denominator). A common denominator for 4 and 7 is 28 cuz 4 x 7 = 28.

3/4 = 21/28

4/7 = 16/28

3/4 = 21/28

(21+16+21)/28 = 58/28 which can simplify to 29/14

hi

Golden rule : you can only add or substract fraction if and only if they have the same denominator.

so two solutions :

you see that one denominator is a multiple of the second. so you multiply all the fraction by this multiple.

ex : 1/3 + 5/6

here I can easely convert 1/3 into a fraction with 6 as 6 is 3x2.

so : 1x2 = 2 and 3x2 = 6

1/3 is 2/6

so. 1/3 +5/6 = 2/6 +5/6

fraction have same denominator, I add numerators : 2/6 +5/6 =7/6

if it not that evident, you multiply fraction A up and down by denominator of fraction B.

and you multiply up and down fraction B by denomonator of fraction A

let' s see with your exemle :

3/4 +4/7+3/4 = ?

first I add fraction with same denominator :

3/4+3/4+4/7 = 6/4 +4/7

fraction A is 6/4.

I multiply up and down by denominator fractiok B which is " 7"

so. 6/4 = 6x7/4×7 = 42/28

let's apply method to fraction B whixh is 4/7 . let' multiply up and down by denominator of fraction A which is " 4"

so : 4/7 = 4x4 /7x4 = 16/28

now we have :

6/4 +4/7 = 42/28 +16/28

both my fractions have same denominator "28" so I add numerator :

42/28 +16/28 = 58/28

Now must wonder if 58/28 can be simplify. Good trick is to decompose numbers, and in prime number is the best way to do

58 = 2x29

28 = 7x2x2

so 58/28= (2×29)/ (7x2x2)

when there is same number up and down I can cross it out .

so here one "2" up and down can be rule out

so 58/28 = 2x29 /7×2×2 = 29/7x2 =29/14

I can not symplify more, so calculus is over.

in short :

3/4+4/7+3/4 = 6/4+4/7

= 42/28 +16/28

=58/28

= 29/14
