The numerator is the top number in a fraction. (2 in 2/8) The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction. (5 in 3/5)
3(numerator)*4(Denomerator)=12 12+3(the 3 in 3 over 4)=15 15(over)4=ansewer
11/15Because 2/5=6/15 and 1/3=5/15.To add fractions you need a common denominator and then you add the numerators and make their sum the new numerator over the common denomerator.
16/24. When making the denominator 24 we are making it 8 times larger (3 * 8 = 24). In order to keep the fraction the same (and maintain the correct proportion)we need toalso multiply the numerator by the same amount. Here 2 * 8 = 16.
The answer is 3 over 7. First you have to set up the equation like how you just did. Then you multiply numerator to numerator and denom. to denom. and you get 12 over 28 which reduces to 3 over 7 when you divide the numerator and denomerator by 4.
