i need help.......?

Question

ok so im trying to get into schol again, but I totally forgot how to do freaking fractions!!! now, can some one help me?

step by step,
1/5+1/11=


please thank you.

Answer 1

Multiply the top and bottom of each fraction to leave the same number on the bottom. This would give:

1 x 11 / 5 x 11 + 1 x 5 / 11 x 5

giving

11 / 55 + 5 / 55

These two numbers on top can be added to give

16 / 55

Answer 2

To add fractions, you have to create a common denominator.
In this case, you need a number that both 5 and 11 will
divide into. One thing that always works is to multiply the numbers together. 5X11 = 55.

Then you convert both fractions into 55th's.

1/5 = ?/55 To turn 5 into 55 you must multiply by 11 so
1/5 * 11/11 = 11/55

1/11 = ?/55 To turn 11 into 55 you must multiply by 5 so
1/11*5/5 = 5/55

then you can do the addition
1/5+1/11 = 11/55 + 5/55 = 16/55

This can't be reduced any further, so you are done.

Answer 3

Make them have common denominators then add them. Here are the steps.
Multiply the left number, top and bottom by the denominator (bottom part) of the right number.
1*11/5*11=11/55
Do the same with the right number.
1*5/11*5=5/55
Add them.
11/55+5/55=16/55
Simplify, if possible.
In this case it is not possible therefore the answer is 16/55.
