  1. find the common denominator between 24 and 7.  


  2. First, simplify the mixed number by multiplying the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and adding the numerator to that amount, giving you 19/7.  

    Then find the least common multiple of 7 and 24.  I like to simply multiply the two together then simplify later if necessary.  7x24 = 168.  

    Multiply 7/24 by 7/7 (this is valid because you are multiplying the whole fraction by 1, leaving it unchanged) to get 49/168.  Likewise, multiply 19/7 by 24/24 to get 456/168.  Add the numerators together to get 505/168.

    Next, find the greatest common factor of 505 and 168 to simplify, which can usually be done by factoring the smaller number and seeing if the larger number is divisible by any of those factors.  Since 505 and 168 do not have any common factors, your final answer is:

    505/168 (or 3 1/168 if you want to answer in mixed number form).

    Hope this helps.

  3. 7/24= 49/168

    2 5/7= 2 120/168

    49+120=169

    2 169/168= 3 1/168

  4. 505/168. i believe that's correct (:

  5. 49 /168 + 456 /168 = 505 / 168  

  6. The first thing to do is to turn 2 5/7 into an improper fraction.

    2 * 7= 14 + 5= 19

    new problem reads 7/24 + 19/7=

    The lowest common denomonator is 168.

    so

    7/24 * 7/7 = 49/168

    19/7 * 24/24 = 456/168

    now problem reads

    49/168 + 456/168 =

    now solve

    49 + 456 = 505

    so

    49/168 + 456/168 = 505/168

    now use division to turn answer back into a proper fraction

    505/168 = 3 r 1

    so you know that the new proper fraction is 3 1/168


  7. 3 1/168
