Question

Solve 1/7 + 1/2
17+12
in the box below. Show all your steps.

Answer 1

Rewrite both fractions to have a common denominator:

1/7 = 2/14

1/2 = 7/14

Now you have 2/14 + 7/14 = 9/14

Answer 2

You have to find a common denominator first. Which 2 and 7 have a common factor of 14 so now it’s 1/14+1/14. Which equals 2/14


Answer: 2/14
