Problems from Sum and subtraction of fractions

Solve the following operations:

  1. 16+26+46
  2. 4+2131
  3. 36215
  4. 1924+118
  5. 55+15+26415
See development and solution

Development:

  1. 16+26+46=1+2+46=76
  2. 4+2131=41+2(3)1=4+2+31=91=9
  3. We begin by simplifying the first fraction: 36=3:36:3=12. Then, 2=215=35}m.c.m(2,15)=235=30

    Now we find the value m for the two fractions: m1=302=15 and m2=3015=2. Then: 12215=11521522152=1530430=15430=1130.

  4. The fractions are already simplified, so we calculate the less common multiple: 1924+118=193243+14184=5772+472=57+472=6172.

  5. We simplify the two fractions: 55=11=1$$and$$26=13. Then, 1+15+13415=11515+353+535415= 15+3+5415=1115

Solution:

  1. 76
  2. 9
  3. 1130
  4. 6172
  5. 1115

Is there any equivalent fraction to the following ones with denominator 8?

  1. 12
  2. 13
See development and solution

Development:

  1. To find an equivalent fraction to 12 with denominator 8, we start calculating the value m: m=82=4. The value m exists and it's integer, so this means that the fraction exists: 12=1424=48.
  2. In this case, we do the same process but when we try to calculate the number m we get: m=83=2,6^. The value m is not an integer, so there isn't an equivalent fraction to 13 which has 8 as denominator.

Solution:

  1. Yes, the fraction 48.
  2. No.
