The homework completed by Eric will be equal to 13/21.
What is the fraction?
The fraction is defined as the division of the whole part into an equal number of parts.
To add fractions, you first have to set the denominators equal to each other. To do this, you find the LCD (least common denominator) of the two fractions until you find a shared number.
To do this, list out the multiples of each number (3x1=3,3x2=6,3x3=9, and so on. Do this also with 7) The LCD for 3 and 7 is 21. 3x7=21, and 7x3=21. You want to set each fraction’s denominator equal to 21.
You want to multiply each side of 1/3 by 7. 1/3 would become 7/21. You’d do this because 3x7=21, and if you multiply the bottom by you need to multiply the top by. 7x3=21 so you multiply both sides by 3 to get 6/21.
Now you have 7/21 and 6/21 and can add them. Now that they are equal, you can ignore the denominator and just add the numerators. 7+6=13 so Eric completed 13/21 of his homework.
