To enter a fraction you must put a forward slash (/) between the numerator and the denominator
\ne.g., ,$\\frac{3}{5}$= 3/5
\nFor fractions with more than one term, the numerator and the denominator need to be in brackets
\ne.g., $\\frac{3+2x}{5+y}$ = (3+2x)/(5+5y)
\nComplete the following calculations and display the correct answer as a fraction in its simplest form:
", "advice": "Step 1. The bottom numbers (the denominators) are already the same. Go straight to step 2.
\nStep 2. Add the top numbers and put the answer over the same denominator:
\n$\\frac{1+1}{4}$ = $\\frac{2}{4}$
\nStep 3. Simplify the fraction:
\nHint: divide the top and bottom by 2.
\n$\\frac{1}{2}$
\nIn picture form it looks like this:
\n$\\frac{1}{4}$ | \n+ | \n$\\frac{1}{4}$ | \n= | \n$\\frac{2}{4}$ | \n= | \n$\\frac{1}{2}$ | \n
\n | \n | \n | \n | \n | \n | \n |
... and do you see how $\\frac{2}{4}$ is simpler as $\\frac{1}{2}$
\n\nStep 1. The denominators are already the same. Go straight to step 2.
\nStep 2. Add the top expressions and put the answer over the same denominator:
\n$\\frac{6x+9y}{7y+2}$
\nStep 3. Simplify the fraction: the fraction is already as simple as possible!
\n$\\frac{1}{4}$ + $\\frac{1}{4}$
