Hey there! :)
Answer:
29/28.
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting with:
[tex]\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{7} + \frac{1}{2} =[/tex]
Begin by finding a common denominator. A number that contains all of the denominators as a factor would be 28. Change each fraction to contain a denominator of 28:
[tex]\frac{7}{28} + \frac{8}{28} + \frac{14}{28} =[/tex]
Add the fractions:
[tex]\frac{7}{28} + \frac{8}{28} + \frac{14}{28} = \frac{29}{28}[/tex]
Therefore, the fractions sum up to 29/28.
Answer:
1/4 + 2/7 + 1/2
Find a number that 4,7, and 2 have in common
List the multiples o 4,7, and 2
4,8,12,15,20,24,28,32,36,40
7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63,70
2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40
4,7,and 2 all have 28 so 28 is the common denominator
1/4 = 1/4 x 7/7 = 7/28
you can multiply because 7/7 = 1 so you are just multiplying by 1
2/7 x 4/4 = 8/28
1/2 x 14/14= 14/28
7/28 + 8/28 + 14/28 = 29/28 or 1 1/28
