Question

How do you add `\frac { 11} { 14} + \frac { 1} { 14} + \frac { 3} { 14}`?

Answer 1

`= color(purple)(1 (1/14))`

Explanation:

Since the denominator is common (14), we can simply add the numerator and the simplicity.

`11/14 + 1 / 14 + 3/14 = (11 + 1 + 3) / 14`

`= 15 /14 = (14 + 1) /14`

`= (cancel(14)color (red) 1) / (cancel(14)) + (1/14)`

`= 1 + 1/14 = color(blue)(1 (1/14)`
