To enter a fraction you must put a forward slash (/) between the numerator and the denominator

\n

e.g.,  ,$\\frac{3}{5}$= 3/5 

\n

For fractions with more than one term, the numerator and the denominator need to be in brackets

\n

e.g.,  $\\frac{3+2x}{5+y}$ = (3+2x)/(5+5y)

\n

Complete the following calculations and display the correct answer as a fraction in its simplest form:

To add fractions there are Three Simple Steps:

\n
\n\n

Answer (a):

\n

$\\frac{1}{4}$ + $\\frac{1}{4}$

\n
\n

Step 1. The bottom numbers (the denominators) are already the same. Go straight to step 2.

\n
\n

Step 2. Add the top numbers and put the answer over the same denominator:

\n
\n

$\\frac{1+1}{4}$ = $\\frac{2}{4}$ 

\n

Step 3. Simplify the fraction:

\n

Hint: divide the top and bottom by 2.

\n
\n
\n

$\\frac{1}{2}$ 

\n

In picture form it looks like this:

\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
$\\frac{1}{4}$+$\\frac{1}{4}$=$\\frac{2}{4}$=$\\frac{1}{2}$
\"1/4\" \"1/4\" \"2/4\" \"1/2\"
\n

... and do you see how $\\frac{2}{4}$ is simpler as $\\frac{1}{2}$

\n

\n

Answer (b):

\n
\n

Step 1. The denominators are already the same. Go straight to step 2.

\n
\n

Step 2. Add the top expressions and put the answer over the same denominator:

\n
\n

$\\frac{6x+9y}{7y+2}$ 

\n

Step 3. Simplify the fraction: the fraction is already as simple as possible!
