Let's look at an example.
We'll add the fractions 1/6 and 1/8
Before we can add, the denominators must be the same.
To get the denominators to be the same, we can...
- multiply top and bottom of 1/6 by 8 to get 8/48
- multiply top and bottom of 1/8 by 6 to get 6/48
At this point, both fractions involve the denominator 48. We can add the fractions like so
8/48 + 6/48 = (8+6)/48 = 14/48
Add the numerators while keeping the denominator the same the entire time.
The last step is to reduce if possible. In this case, we can reduce. This is because 14 and 48 have the factor 2 in common. Divide each part by 2.
The fraction 14/48 reduces to 7/24
Overall, 1/6 + 1/8 = 7/24

The product will result in the solution for the x- and y-values of the system.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We must develop three equations in three unknowns.
I will use these three:
It takes him 35 + 4 = 39 total minutes one way, so it would take him 39 x 2 = 78 minutes for 1 round trip.
convert 5 hours and 12 minutes into minutes: 1 hour = 60 minutes.
5 hours x 60 minutes = 300 minutes.
300 + 12 = 312 total minutes for the week.
Divide total minutes by minutes per round trip:
312 / 78 = 4 round trips total
