To add the fractions, we must have a least common denominator, which in this case is 24. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 had to be multiplied by 4 to become 24, so do the same to 5 to get 20.
\n" ); document.write( "8 had to be multiplied by 3 to become 24, so do the same to 7 to get 21.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"20%2F24%2B21%2F24\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The denominator remains the same, but add the two numerators, 20 and 21, to get:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"41%2F24\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the fraction to get $\"1\"$ $\"17%2F24\"$ .
