Question

Work out 12/7 + 4/7 as a mixed number in its simplest form

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

1 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5÷7/15=?

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

4/5×15/7=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply

the numerators and then multiply the

denominators to get

4x15/5x7=60/35

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 60 and 35 using

60 53 5+5 12/7

The fraction

12/7

is the same as

12+7

Convert to a mixed number using

long division for 12 + 7 = 12/7=1 5/7

Therefore:

4/5 7/15-1 5/7
