McGraw-Hill Math Grade 5 Answer Key Chapter 6 Lesson 5 Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators
Solve
Find equivalent fractions and then add. Change improper fractions to mixed numbers.
Question 1.
\(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{5}\) ______________
Answer:
\(\frac{5}{20}\) + \(\frac{4}{20}\) = \(\frac{9}{20}\)
Question 2.
\(\frac{2}{9}\) + \(\frac{1}{6}\) _______________
Answer:
\(\frac{2}{9}\) + \(\frac{1}{6}\) = \(\frac{11}{18}\).
Explanation:
To get the equivalent fraction we will multiply both numerator and denominator by 2 which is \(\frac{4}{18}\) and we will multiply other addend by 3 which is \(\frac{3}{18}\). So the addition of \(\frac{4}{18}\) + \(\frac{3}{18}\)
= \(\frac{4+7}{18}\)
= \(\frac{11}{18}\).
Question 3.
\(\frac{3}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{3}\) ________________
Answer:
\(\frac{3}{8}\) + \(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{11}{18}\).
Explanation:
To get the equivalent fraction we will multiply \(\frac{3}{8}\) both numerator and denominator by 3 which is \(\frac{9}{24}\) and we will multiply other addend \(\frac{1}{3}\) by 8 which is \(\frac{8}{24}\). So the addition of \(\frac{9}{24}\) + \(\frac{8}{24}\)
= \(\frac{9+8}{24}\)
= \(\frac{17}{24}\).
Add. Change any improper fractions to mixed numbers.
Question 4.
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{3}{7}\) = \(\frac{13}{14}\).
Explanation:
By adding \(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{3}{7}\) the sum will be \(\frac{7+6}{14}\)
= \(\frac{13}{14}\).
Question 5.
Answer:
\(\frac{2}{3}\) + \(\frac{3}{5}\) = \(\frac{16}{15}\).
Explanation:
By adding \(\frac{2}{3}\) + \(\frac{3}{5}\) the sum will be \(\frac{10+6}{15}\)
= \(\frac{16}{15}\).
Question 6.
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{7}\) + \(\frac{1}{8}\) = \(\frac{15}{56}\).
Explanation:
By adding \(\frac{1}{7}\) + \(\frac{1}{8}\) the sum will be \(\frac{8+7}{56}\)
= \(\frac{15}{56}\).
Question 7.
Answer:
\(\frac{1}{7}\) + \(\frac{1}{6}\) = \(\frac{13}{42}\).
Explanation:
By adding \(\frac{1}{7}\) + \(\frac{1}{6}\) the sum will be \(\frac{7+6}{42}\)
= \(\frac{13}{42}\).
