Question

1/6+2/4 How to convert improper?​

Answer 1

`(6)/(12)`
`= (1)/(2)`

Explanation:

`(1)/(6) +(2)/(4)`

Find LCM of 6 and 4 which is 12.

6*2=12

4*3=12

Do the same to the top parts of each part.

1*2=2

2*3=6

`(2)/(12) + (4)/(12)`

Now you can add them easily

`(2)/(12) + (6)/(12) = (6)/(12)`

Because 6 and 12 can still be divided by the same number (6) you need to divided it in order to get a simpler fraction.

6÷6=1

12÷6=2

`(1)/(2)`

(An improper fraction is one in which the numerator is larger than the denominator. Nothing in this equation was an improper fraction. Though, for example,
`(12)/(6)` is an improper fraction. To get a mixed number/whole number. You would simply divide the numerator, 12, by the denominator 6. In doing so, you would get 2)
