Example Question #2 : Solve Word Problems Involving Addition And Subtraction Of Fractions: Ccss.Math.Content.5.Nf.A.2

Joe paited $\frac{3}{10}$ of the fence an Sara painted $\frac{1}{2}$ . How much of the fence is painted?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{9}{10}$

$\frac{4}{12}$

$\frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{3}{7}$

$\frac{7}{10}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$

Explanation:

$\frac{3}{10}+\frac{1}{2}$

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{5}{5}=\frac{5}{10}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can add the fractions. Remember, when we add fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only add the numerator.

$\frac{3}{10 }+\frac{5}{10}=\frac{8}{10}$

$\frac{8}{10}$ can be reduced be dividing both sides by .

$\frac{8}{10} \div\frac{2}{2}=\frac{4}{5}$

Example Question #65 : How To Add Fractions

Zach cleaned $\frac{1}{8}$ of the house and Alex cleaned $\frac{1}{3}$ of the house. How much of the house did they clean?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{12}{21}$

$\frac{5}{9}$

$\frac{11}{24}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{2}{11}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{11}{24}$

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{3}$

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.

$\frac{1}{8}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{24}$

$\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{8}{8}=\frac{8}{24}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can add the fractions. Remember, when we add fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only add the numerator.

$\frac{3}{24}+\frac{8}{24}=\frac{11}{24}$

Example Question #261 : Fractions

Ben washed $\frac{3}{8}$ of the windows and Jen washed $\frac{1}{4}$ . How much of the windows have they washed?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{8}$

$\frac{4}{12}$

$\frac{3}9{}$

$\frac{5}{7}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{5}{8}$

Explanation:

$\frac{3}{8}+\frac{1}{4}$

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.

$\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{8}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can add the fractions. Remember, when we add fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only add the numerator.

$\frac{3}{8}+\frac{2}8{=\frac{5}{8}}$

Example Question #67 : How To Add Fractions

Jake ate $\frac{1}{7}$ of the popcorn and Dave ate $\small \frac{4}{14}$ of the popcorn. How much of the popcorn have they eaten?

Possible Answers:

$\small \frac{2}{3}$

$\small \frac{5}{7}$

$\small \frac{5}{21}$

$\small \frac{3}{7}$

$\small \frac{13}{21}$

Correct answer:

$\small \frac{3}{7}$

Explanation:

$\small \frac{1}{7}+\frac{4}{14}$

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.

$\frac{1}{7}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{14}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can add the fractions. Remember, when we add fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only add the numerator.

$\small \frac{2}{14}+\frac{4}{14}=\frac{6}{14}$

$\small \frac{6}{14}$ can be reduced by dividing $\small 2$ by both sides.

$\small \frac{6}{14}\div\frac{2}{2}=\frac{3}{7}$

Example Question #68 : How To Add Fractions

Jessica ate $\frac{1}{3}$ of the cake and Megan ate $\frac{1}{2}$ . How much of the cake have they eaten?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{12}$

$\frac{5}6{}$

$\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{5}{8}$

$\frac{2}{5}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{5}6{}$

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}2{}$

In order to solve this problem, we first need to make common denominators.

$\frac{1}3{\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{6}}$

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{6}$

Now that we have common denominators, we can add the fractions. Remember, when we add fractions, the denominator stays the same, we only add the numerator.

$\frac{2}{6}+\frac{3}{6}=\frac{5}{6}$
