To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Both fractions, and , have the same denominator, 4.
Step 2: Since the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators: .
Step 3: The resulting fraction is , which simplifies to .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
\( \frac{1}{4}\times\frac{3}{2}= \)
The denominator tells you the size of each piece. Since both fractions are fourths, you're adding pieces of the same size. Only count how many pieces: 1 fourth + 3 fourths = 4 fourths.
When the numerator and denominator are the same, the fraction equals 1. Think of it as 4 pieces out of 4 total pieces = the whole thing!
Then you'd need to find a common denominator first. But here, both fractions already have the same denominator (4), so you can add directly!
Yes! and , so 0.25 + 0.75 = 1.00. But working with fractions is often more precise.
Yes! When denominators are the same:
