Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

3.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  3  as the denominator :

        a     a • 3

   a =  —  =  —————

        1       3  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

1 + a • 3     3a + 1

—————————  =  ——————

    3           3

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

4.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

     The left denominator is :       3

     The right denominator is :       4

       Number of times each prime factor

       appears in the factorization of:

Prime

Factor   Left

Denominator   Right

Denominator   L.C.M = Max

{Left,Right}

3 1 0 1

2 0 2 2

Product of all

Prime Factors  3 4 12

     Least Common Multiple:

     12

Calculating Multipliers :

4.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions

   Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M

   Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M

   Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno

   Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno

  Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 4

  Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 3

Making Equivalent Fractions :

4.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)2   and  (y2+y)/(y+1)3  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

  L. Mult. • L. Num.      (3a+1) • 4

  ——————————————————  =   ——————————

        L.C.M                 12    

  R. Mult. • R. Num.      5 • 3

  ——————————————————  =   —————

        L.C.M              12  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

(3a+1) • 4 - (5 • 3)     12a - 11

When a fraction equals zero :

5.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 12a-11

 —————— • 12 = 0 • 12

   12  

Now, on the left hand side, the  12  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  12a-11  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

5.2      Solve  :    12a-11 = 0

Add  11  to both sides of the equation :

                     12a = 11

Divide both sides of the equation by 12:

                    a = 11/12 = 0.917

a = 11/12 = 0.917

Answer:

11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to subtract 5/4 minus 1/3 but you cant so you have to find the greatest denominator first which would be 12 because 3x4=12.

Since you multiplied 4x 3 to get 12 then you will multiply the 5 by 3 and the 1 by 4 to get this -> 5/4= 15/12     1/3= 4/12

Then subtract 15/12- 4/12= 11/12

a=11/12

Determine whether the graph represents a proportional relationship. A graph is shown. The x-axis is labeled from 0 to 16. The y-axis is labeled from 0 to 16. Four points are shown on the graph on ordered pairs 0, 2 and 1, 6 and 2, 10 and 3, 12. These points are joined by a line. The label on the x-axis is Number of Cars. The title on the y-axis is Number of Wheels. Yes, it is a proportional relationship because the graph goes through the origin Yes, it is a proportional relationship because the graph is a straight line No, it is not a proportional relationship because the graph is not a straight line No, it is not a proportional relationship because the graph does not go through the origin
