You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1 1/15 + 3 3/10 - 2 4/5
\n" ); document.write( "There are two ways to solve these, I'm not sure which your teacher wants, but I will do it by turning them into improper fractions;
\n" ); document.write( "First lets take the first two:
\n" ); document.write( "1\"1%2F15\"+3\"3%2F10\"=
\n" ); document.write( "turn into improper fractions;
\n" ); document.write( "\"16%2F15\"+\"33%2F10\"
\n" ); document.write( "you need to have common denominators to add and subtract fractions, which will be 30;
\n" ); document.write( "\"32%2F30\"+\"99%2F30\"=\"131%2F30\";
\n" ); document.write( "Now lets take that answer and subtract the next fraction from that one;
\n" ); document.write( "\"131%2F30\"-\"14%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "find common denominator, 30;
\n" ); document.write( "\"131%2F30\"-\"84%2F30\"=\"47%2F30\"
\n" ); document.write( "turn into a mixed fraction;
\n" ); document.write( "\"47%2F30\"=1\"17%2F30\"
\n" ); document.write( ":)\r
