What is 1 over 3 3 over 4 3 over 5?

Answer 1

Want to be sure I understand~you are adding the 3 fractions?

1/3 + 3/4 + 3/5 = x

[NOTE: A bit of info when adding fractions with different denominators (lower number)]

-Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of all the fractions you are working with.

-Rename the fractions to have the LCD.

-Add the fractions to have the LCD

-Add the numerators (top number) of the fractions once the denominators are the same

-Simplify the fraction

~Determine the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 3 and 4 and 5 which is 1

~Multiply the denominators and divide by the GCF

3 x 4 x 5 = 60, then 60 ÷ 1 = 60

~Rename the fractions to use the Least Common Denominator [LCD] (remembering you multiply both the numerator and denominator by the LCD)

1/3= 20/60, 3/4 = 45/60, 3/5 = 36/60

~Now you can add the fractions together, remembering that when adding fractions they have to have same common denominator which you are getting with the above actions, only adding the numerators together.

~Result of your math problem

20/60 + 45/60 + 36/60 = 20 + 45 + 36 /60 = 101/60

(20+45+36 over {fraction line showing numerators adding together with 60 the denominator under the 3 numerators added together} under 60) = 101/60 {explained because cannot put underline properly like it would normally look}

~Simplify the fraction. Notice the numerator is more than the denominator.

Denominator divided into the higher numerator - how many times does 60 go into 101 in a whole number = 1 with 41 left over or 1 remainder 41

101/60 = 1 41/60

So the three fractions added together equals 1 41/60 (41/60 cannot be reduced or simplified)
