3) What is the result of 4/3 + 2/9?

Explanation

To add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 9. Therefore, 4/3 + 2/9 is equal to 12/9 + 2/9, which simplifies to 14/9.

Submit
4) What is the result of 7/6 + 5/2?

Explanation

To find the sum of fractions, you must have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 6. By converting the fractions to have a denominator of 6, the calculation would be: (7/6)*2 + (5/2)*3 = 14/6 + 15/6 = 29/6 = 11/3.

Submit
5) -2/7 + 5/7

Explanation

When adding fractions, the denominators must be the same. In this case, since both fractions have a denominator of 7, we can simply add the numerators to get the correct answer of 3/7.

Submit
6) Simplify the expression: 4y/5 + 9y/5.
Submit
7) What is the result of 7/4 + 1/12?

Explanation

To add fractions, first find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12. Then, convert 7/4 to 21/12 and 1/12 to itself. Adding these, we get 21/12 + 1/12 = 22/12 = 11/6.

Submit
8) Simplify the expression: 4g/5 - g/15.

Explanation

To simplify the expression, we need to find a common denominator for 5 and 15, which is 15. Then we can rewrite the equation as (3*4g - g)/15, which simplifies to 11g/15.

Submit
9) Simplify the expression 3w/16 - w/8.

Explanation

To simplify this expression, first find a common denominator for 16 and 8, which is 16. Then, subtract the numerators to get (3w - 2w)/16 = w/16.

Submit
10) Simplify the expression 3w/16 - w/8.

Explanation
