Question 1064262: If a word problem is asking "You have 9 days to complete a project, in 2 days you completed 1/4 and 1/3. how much has been completed in total? I know you need to figure out a common denominator. I can't figure out the rest of the problem. The answer is either 84, 89, 90, and I forgot the last number.
Please help me?

"You have 9 days to complete a project, in 2 days you completed 1/4 and 1/3. how much has been completed in total? I know you need to figure out a common denominator. I can't figure out the rest of the problem. The answer is either 84, 89, 90, and I forgot the last number.

A common denominator or 1/3 and 1/4 is 12.
The product of denominators is always a common denominator.

The answer is either 84, 89, 90
84, 89 or 90 what? Hours? Days? Percent?
