1+(1/3) over 1-(3/7) = ??????
I used the parentheses to show that, for example, it is not 1+1 over 3, but 1 plus 1/3. The same stands for the second part of t

1+(1/3) over 1-(3/7) = ??????
I used the parentheses to show that, for example, it is not 1+1 over 3, but 1 plus 1/3. The same stands for the second part of the problem.
Lets start by dealing in 3rds and sevenths::
1+(1/3)=(3/3)+(1/3) and that =(4/3)
1-(3/7)=(7/7)-(3/7)=(4/7)
Now we have
(4/3)/(4/7) We are now going to multiply this by (7/7). That will get rid of the fraction in the denominator:
(7)(4/3)/(7)(4/7)=(7/4)(4/3)=(28/12) and---
