What is seven eighths plus seven eighths?
1 and 3/4To add two fractions, combine the numerators when there is a common demominator (then you can also simplify).In the question 7/8 + 7/8 ... there is a common denominator.So you get 14/8This can be simplified to 7/4This can be simplified to 1 and 3/41 and 3/4 is your answer (which is 1.75 in decimal form).
How many fourths are in 2 and three fourth?
i am doing the same thing, i had 8 and that was wrong so i am going to go with......................11? please get second opinion. hope i am right and it helped! It is 11 because you multiply the whole number by the demominator and then add the numerator. So, 2 x4 + 3 = 11.
What happens to the fraction as the demominator increases?
A fraction's denominator is the bottom number. As a denominator gets bigger, the fraction gets smaller.Example: You're splitting a hamburger with a friend, so you each get half: 1/2Then another guy sits down and wants some fries, so you each get a third: 1/3Finally your girlfriend joins you and you all share your piece of pie, so you each a fourth: 1/4In this case, the denominator is the number of people eating, and the more people eating, the less food you get to eat (the fraction).
