Question 1086695: Each figure represents a real number and no denominators are 0. Choose the correct statement and briefly explain why the others are incorrect.
1. a/b + c/d = (a+c)/bd
2. a/b + c/d = (a+c)/(b+d)
3. a/b + c/d = (ad+bc)/bd Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (a/b)+(c/d)--common denominator is bd
(ad+bc)/bd
3.
------------------
2. is incorrect because the numerators and denominators are added without a common denominator.
1. is incorrect because the numerator is acted assuming a common denominator of bd. That would be the same as a/bd +c/bd, not the original.
