Scribe Post!!
Today, we got a worksheet to do and I will explain 5 questions on page 42, mixed numbers. Okay the first question is 3 9/10 + 2 13/16=??? Okay first we add the whole numbers okay? Well let me draw this out for you! Sorry if my drawing sucks.. Okay now for the second question. The question is 3 11/12+ 7 3/8.
Okay, for our next question 1 1/8 + 11/13=? Okay first we add up the whole numbers which is only 1. Next lets add the fractions 1/8 and 11/13, to add them up we need a common denominator or same size peices. So we multiply 8 by 13. Which is 104. Now the fractions are 13/104 + 88/104= 101/104 now we add the whole number and our answer is 1 101/104!
Now for our fourth question! The question is 5 1/3 - 1 2/7.
Okay for the final question! It is 2 4/9+ 5 1/2=??
Okay thats it guys! Jowella will do page 41, so if you need help on that go look at her post!
I pick Camille for the next scribe! HAHA
