Convert to top heavy fraction →Find common denominator (x both denominators together [and do the same sum to the top as the bottom])→Add numerators and put above the common denominator→ Convert to mixed no→Cancel down
-
Anotações:
Convert to top-heavy fraction→Common denominator (d x d) →Find numerators→- numerators and put on top→Mixed no→Cancel
