Denominator 1 ≠ Denominator 2.We need matching denominators
Multiply fraction 1 numerator * fraction 2 denominator.
Multiply fraction 2 numerator by the fraction 1 denominator
We add those 2 results, and get our numerator.
Our denominator is the product of the denominators of both fractions.
Fraction 1 + Fraction 2 = | Numerator 1 x Denominator 2 + Numerator 2 x Denominator 1 |
Denominator 1 x Denominator 2 |
Fraction 1 + Fraction 2 = | 1 x 10 + 1 x 24 |
24 x 10 |
Fraction 1 + Fraction 2 = | 10 + 24 |
240 |
Fraction 1 + Fraction 2 = | 34 |
240 |
(1/2) x 34 = 17
(1/2) x 240 = 120
Answer = 17/120
Answer = | 17 |
120 |
