+ 4 18
A+B
First, we will need to find a common denominator
for both fractions. This can be accomplished by
multiplying each fraction by the denominator of the
5*18 7*16 5
3 16*18
+ 4 18*16
opposite fraction. The first fraction 16 will be
18 7
multiplied by 18
. The second fraction 18
will be
16
multiplied by 16
.
90 112
3 288
+ 4 288
202 Next, we will add the whole numbers together to get
7 202
288 7 and add the fractions together to get 288 .
Now we will need to simplify the fraction. This can
be completed by dividing the fraction by common
101
7 144
multiples. For this fraction, the numerator and
denominator will be divided by 2 because both the
numerator and denominator are even numbers.
