1. Find `1/2 + 3/4`
Solution:
We will use fraction circles
Here, LCM of 2 and 4 is 4. Convert each fractions into like fractions. So multiply numerator and denominator by the ratio of LCM and denominator of the fraction
`(1)/(2)=(1xx2)/(2xx2)=(2)/(4)`
`(3)/(4)=(3xx1)/(4xx1)=(3)/(4)`
`(2)/(4)` | | 2 parts of `1/4` |
+ `(3)/(4)` | | + 3 parts of `1/4` |
`5/4``=1 1/4` | | 5 parts of `1/4` |
So, `(1)/(2) + (3)/(4)=1 1/4`
2. Find `3/4 + 1/4`
Solution:
We will use fraction circles
`(3)/(4)` | | 3 parts of `1/4` |
+ `(1)/(4)` | | + 1 parts of `1/4` |
`4/4``=1 ` | | 4 parts of `1/4` |
So, `(3)/(4) + (1)/(4)=1 `
3. Find `1 3/4 + 1 2/4`
Solution:
We will use fraction circles
`1(3)/(4)` | | 7 parts of `1/4` |
+ `1(2)/(4)` | | + 6 parts of `1/4` |
`2 5/4``=3 1/4` | | 13 parts of `1/4` |
So, `1 (3)/(4) + 1 (2)/(4)=3 1/4`
4. Find `1 2/3 + 1 2/3`
Solution:
We will use fraction circles
`1(2)/(3)` | | 5 parts of `1/3` |
+ `1(2)/(3)` | | + 5 parts of `1/3` |
`2 4/3``=3 1/3` | | 10 parts of `1/3` |
So, `1 (2)/(3) + 1 (2)/(3)=3 1/3`
