00:14 | com to add these two fractions together . 16 plus | |
00:21 | 4/5 . We need a common denominator . The common | |
00:27 | denominator is simply the least common multiple For the two | |
00:32 | denominators . So here our first step is to find | |
00:35 | the least common multiple For six and 5 . Six | |
00:42 | factors as three times two And five dozen factor . | |
00:48 | Remember when finding the least common multiple ? We're looking | |
00:52 | for factors that match up and here we have no | |
00:56 | factors that match up . So at least common multiple | |
00:59 | or L C . M is simply three times two | |
01:04 | times five or six times five which is 30 . | |
01:11 | So at least common denominator for these two fractions his | |
01:15 | 30 . In order to get a denominator of 30 | |
01:20 | in the first fraction We must multiply our denominator of | |
01:24 | six by five . The problem is we can't just | |
01:31 | multiply the denominator of a fraction by five because that | |
01:35 | changes its value . However , if we also multiply | |
01:41 | The numerator of the fraction by five , We're actually | |
01:45 | multiplying the fraction by 5/5 which is one . And | |
01:51 | when we multiply anything by one , it doesn't change | |
01:55 | its value . So our first fraction becomes five over | |
02:01 | 30 . Notice that 5/30 has the same value , | |
02:08 | has won over six for our second fraction we have | |
02:13 | a five in the denominator And we want a common | |
02:16 | denominator of 30 . So we must multiply this five | |
02:20 | by six . And when we multiply the denominator refraction | |
02:26 | by six , we must also multiply The Numerator by | |
02:30 | six . So we have plus 24 . Okay , | |
02:36 | over 30 5/30 plus 24/30 is 29/30 , which is | |
02:50 | our final answer . |
