Please help me. I don't understand fractions here is my problem.
Add:

5/24+9/20

79/120

Step-by-step explanation:

5/24+9/20

to add the fractions the denominator (bottom part) has to be the same. ex you can add one third and one third to make two thirds. but you wont know what 1/2 + 1/3 is.

convert to same denominator. to do this, the fractions themselves need to stay the same value but the bottom number needs to change. ex 1/2=2/4 and 1/3= 2/6. when you multiply and divide the top and bottom part of the fraction by the same number, the value of the fraction stays the same. ex 3/6 divide both parts by 3 you get 1/3. so 3/6=1/3

to get the common denominator we have to find the least common multiple, or LCM (since 5 and 9 dont share any common factors.)

24 and 20 LCM

=120

convert both 5/24+9/20 to x/120 and y/120

5/24 multiply by 5 on top and bottom

=25/120

9/20 multiply by 6 on top and bottom

=54/120

25/120+54/120

=(25+54)/120

=79/120
