Explanation/Answer:

To convert, we need a common denominator.

So if, say, we multiply the denominator by 2, we must multiply the numerator by 2 as well.

1) 4/5+4/7

4x7/5x7 + 4x5/7x5

28/35+20/35

(Both have common denominators so we can add them)

28 +20/35= 48/35=1 13/35

2) 1/2+11/8

(We already have common denominator in one of the numbers so we only have to convert ONE of the fractions)

1x4/2x4+11/8

4/8+11/8=15/8= 1 7/8

3) 1/5+1/3

1x3/5x3+1x5/3x5

3/15+5/15=8/15

Hope this helped :D

Answer:
1. 48/35

2. 15/8

3. 8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to make sure the denominator is the same before combining both fractions. Whatever you multiply by the denominator, you need to do to the numerator.
