What is 6 times 8 plus 3a?
Answers
Unlike adding and subtracting integers such as 2 and 8, fractions require a common denominator to undergo these operations. The equations provided below account for this by multiplying the numerators and denominators of all of the fractions involved in the addition by the denominators of each fraction (excluding multiplying itself by its own denominator). Multiplying all of the denominators ensures that the new denominator is certain to be a multiple of each individual denominator. Multiplying the numerator of each fraction by the same factors is necessary, since fractions are ratios of values and a changed denominator requires that the numerator be changed by the same factor in order for the value of the fraction to remain the same. This is arguably the simplest way to ensure that the fractions have a common denominator. Note that in most cases, the solutions to these equations will not appear in simplified form (though the provided calculator computes the simplification automatically). An alternative to using this equation in cases where the fractions are uncomplicated would be to find a least common multiple and then add or subtract the numerators as one would an integer. Depending on the complexity of the fractions, finding the least common multiple for the denominator can be more efficient than using the equations.
