-8 1/3 + 3 2/5

lol i need a refresh when you multiply the fraction to get it to be added with the other one do you multiply the whole number too?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-81/3+32/5

-81×5+32×3/15

-243+96/15

-147/15

-49/5 Ans

Answer 2

To answer your question ("do you multiply the whole number too?"): Yes, you have to multiply the whole number as well. You can't just separate 1/3 from -8 and multiply it with 2/5, because the whole number is part of the mixed #. Whenever you multiply, add, divide, subtract, or do anything to two mixed numbers, you must include the whole term.

- - - - - - - - - -

Now your question is addition. Like I said, when you add them together, the whole number and the fractions count as one term.

So basically, -8 1/3 + 3 2/5...

- - - - - - - - - -

1) Find the LCM (least common multiple) of the denominators

The LCM of 3 and 5 is 15. To get from 3 to 15, you have to multiply 3 by 5. Now multiply the numbers of the fraction part only by 5.

1/3 --> 5/15 (as you can see, 1x5 = 5, 3x5 = 15)

Now for 2/5: To get from 5 to 15, multiply 5 by 3. Do the same thing to the numbers in the fraction

2/5 --> 6/15 (2x3 = 6, 5x3 = 15)

***TO CLARIFY, DO NOT MULTIPLY THE WHOLE TERM BY THE NUMBER***

Right: 2x3 = 6, 5x3 = 15, 6/15

Wrong: 2/5 x 5 = 2

- - - - - - - - - -

2) So now that we found a common denominator, change the two terms to -8 5/15 + 3 6/15 (because we had to find the LCM to make life a lot easier)

- - - - - - - - - -

3) We just add them together. Even though they are a term together, you can split them apart and add them together separately thanks to the commutative property of addition*.

Time to split it apart to make life a whole lot easier. -8 5/15 can be split apart into the two terms -8 and 5/15. For 3 6/15, it can be split into 3 and 5/15.

Two options from here on:

Set up a single equation: Put all the terms into one equation. -8 + 3 + 5/15 + 6/15. Solve by adding all the terms together in whichever order you prefer (again, thanks to the commutative property of addition)

It would result in the answer -4 4/15

Or...

Set up two separate equations: Set up an equation for whole numbers, and another one for fractions.

Equation 1: -8 + 3 = -5

Equation 2: 5/15 + 6/15 = 11/15

(6 + 5 = 11)

And we add the sums together. -5 + 11/15 = -4 4/15

And that's it!

- - - - - - - - - -

*Commutative Property of Addition: The sum of the numbers will NOT change even if you change the order of the addends

Then I solved for the area of the triangle.

Area of a triangle: 1/2bh

This means 1/2(9×6.1)⇒1/2(54.9)=27.45

Then you add the area of the triangle and the areo of the rectangle together:
