Question

Add the following
17/38 and 37/48​

Answer 1

Answer:

1115/912

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to add 17/38 to 37/48

First we have to make sure that the denominators are the same.

The denominators are 38 and 48.

So we find the LCM (Least Common Multiple).

We find that the LCM of 38 and 48 is 912.

Now we make the denominators of the two numbers equal to 912.

We multiply the denominator and numerator of the first number by 24. We get 408/912

Next we multiply the denominator and numerator of the second number by 19. We get 703/912

Now we have to add the numbers.

We add the numerators of the two numbers and the denominator remains same. We get (408+703)/912

= 1115/912
