Adding Fractions with Different Denominators
Determine the Greatest Common Factor of 9 and 12 which is 3. Either multiply the denominators and divide by the G.C.F. (9*12=108, 108/3=36) OR - Divide one of the denominators by the G.C.F. and multiply the answer by the other denominator (9/3=3, 3*12=36) Rename the fractions to use the Least Common Denominator (2/9=8/36, 3/12=9/36) The result is 8/36 + 9/36 Add the numerators and put the sum over the LCD = 17/36 Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case it is not possible. |
The Complete Mathematical Terms Dictionary
Understanding math concepts is critical in our world today. Math is used daily by nearly everyone, from lay persons to highly degree professionals. Situations in which math is used vary from simply balancing a checkbook or calculating the amount of change due from a store transaction all the way to making blueprints for an office building or house and the construction of those buildings. Understanding how to solve math problems becomes easier as one learns math terminology. Below is a list of many common math terms and their definitions.
