I whole and 3 over 4 minus 7 over 8?

The trick here - apart from the usual one, of finding a common denominator - is to "lend" one from the whole part, and add it to the fraction. Since one whole is 3/4, you add 4/4, to get 7/4. Then (and after converting everything to the common denominator), you can easily subtract the fractional part.


What is the LCM of 30 43?

This is a trick question. When referring to the Lowest Common Multiple, you are comparing two numbers and finding the lowest multiple that they both have in common. As there is only 1 number, it isn't comparing it. The LCM of 43 and itself would be 43, because 43 is a multiple of itself.

What is the common multiple of 120 and 149?

There are many common multiples of 120 and 149. A common multiple is simply a multiple of both numbers. The least common multiple is 120x149, since 149 is prime. (Note: this trick doesn't work on all pairs of number. Although the product is always a multiple, it's not the least common multiple.)

How do you add a fraction without a common denominator?

You have to make a common denominator between them, otherwise you can't. See if they have similar factors, or if you can't find any easily, cross-multiply and multiply the numerator and denominator of one side by the denominator of the other side and do the same thing to the other side with the denominator of the other fraction!
