14. a) denominator

b) common denominator

c) multiple

d) tellers

e) number

f) fractions

g) improper fractions

h) simplify

15.2 a)

= $\frac{\text{12}}{\text{21}}$ + $\frac{\text{14}}{\text{21}}$

= $\frac{\text{26}}{\text{21}}$

= 1 $\frac{5}{\text{21}}$

b)

= $\frac{5}{\text{10}}$ + $\frac{6}{\text{10}}$

= $\frac{\text{11}}{\text{10}}$

= 1 $\frac{1}{\text{10}}$

c)

= $\frac{\text{36}}{\text{45}}$ - $\frac{\text{25}}{\text{45}}$

= $\frac{\text{11}}{\text{45}}$

d)

= $\frac{4}{6}$ - $\frac{3}{6}$

= $\frac{1}{6}$

16.

a)

= $\text{11}\frac{2}{3}$ + $\frac{1}{7}$

= $\text{11}\frac{\text{14}}{\text{21}}$ + $\frac{3}{\text{21}}$

p = $\text{11}\frac{\text{17}}{\text{21}}$

b)

= $3\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9}$

= 3 $\frac{9}{\text{36}}-\frac{4}{\text{36}}$

t = 3 $\frac{5}{\text{36}}$

= 6 $\frac{3}{4}$ – (3 $\frac{1}{2}$ + 1 $\frac{2}{3}$ )

= 6 $\frac{3}{4}$ – 3 $\frac{3}{6}$ + $\frac{4}{6}$

= 6 $\frac{3}{4}$ – 4 $\frac{1}{6}$

= 2 $\frac{9}{\text{12}}$ - $\frac{2}{\text{12}}$

g = 2 $\frac{7}{\text{12}}$

d)

= 9 $\frac{7}{8}$ - (4 $\frac{9}{\text{12}}$ + $\frac{8}{\text{12}}$ )

= 9 $\frac{7}{8}$ - 5 $\frac{5}{\text{12}}$

= 4 $\frac{7}{8}$ - $\frac{5}{\text{12}}$

= 4 $\frac{\text{21}}{\text{24}}$ - $\frac{\text{10}}{\text{24}}$

v = 4 $\frac{\text{11}}{\text{24}}$

## Activity: addition and subtraction of fractions [lo 1.7.3]

14. Addition and subtraction of fractions

LET US REVISE.

The answers to the following questions are hidden below.

Circle them when you find them and then complete the sentences.

 a b t t t s o n k o f m n d e n o m i n a t o r y u e d e l u o a e n r a j m n k l l l e a m d o c p e o h a e t m l e i n t o r m m v r i e d r g e i o a i n i s p r f e s g o g t n s u x l m g p t t n h o a e q k e l v o l e s t r t d e f s h j r k l e e s o q w e r t y p y o l u h r s d a z d o m u b g e s s i m p l i f i e d e l h

a) We can only add or subtract fractions if the.................................................. are the same.

b) If the denominators differ, we must find .................................................. fractions with the same denominators.

c) We can find the common denominator easily by using ..................................................

d) We only add the.................................................. together.

e) The .................................................. stays unchanged when we add or subtract.

f) When we add mixed numbers together, we first add the natural numbers and then

the ..................................................

g) When we subtract mixed numbers, we can first change them to ................................................. fractions.

h) Answers must always be .................................................. as far as possible.

15.1 Do you still remember?

When we add or subtract e.g. one third ( $\frac{1}{3}$ ) + four fifths ( $\frac{4}{5}$ ) or five sixths ( $\frac{5}{6}$ ) – two nineths ( $\frac{2}{9}$ ) we must first make the DENOMINATORS the same. To do this we must look for the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) .

If we want the LCM of 3 and 5 we can work as follows:

3: 3 ; 6 ; 9 ; 12 ; 15 ; 18 ; 21 ; etc.

5: 5 ; 10 ; 15 ; 20 ; 25 ; etc.

 Thus we change both denominators to 15:
 1 × 5 3 × 5
=
 5 15
en
 4 × 3 5 × 3
=
 12 15

Thus: $\begin{array}{}\frac{1}{3}+\frac{4}{5}\\ \frac{5}{\text{15}}+\frac{\text{12}}{\text{15}}\\ \frac{\text{17}}{\text{15}}\\ 1\frac{2}{\text{15}}\end{array}$

## Assessment

Learning Outcome 1: The learner will be able to recognise, describe and represent numbers and their relationships, and to count, estimate, calculate and check with competence and confidence in solving problems.

Assessment Standard 1.7: We know this when the learner estimates and calculates by selecting and using operations appropriate to solving problems that involve:

1.7.3: addition, subtraction and multiplication of common fractions.

how to know photocatalytic properties of tio2 nanoparticles...what to do now
it is a goid question and i want to know the answer as well
Maciej
Do somebody tell me a best nano engineering book for beginners?
what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?
s.
how to fabricate graphene ink ?
for screen printed electrodes ?
SUYASH
What is lattice structure?
of graphene you mean?
Ebrahim
or in general

I start with an easy one. carbon nanotubes woven into a long filament like a string
Porter
many many of nanotubes
Porter
what is the k.e before it land
Yasmin
what is the function of carbon nanotubes?
Cesar
I'm interested in nanotube
Uday
what is nanomaterials​ and their applications of sensors.
what is nano technology
what is system testing?
preparation of nanomaterial
Yes, Nanotechnology has a very fast field of applications and their is always something new to do with it...
what is system testing
what is the application of nanotechnology?
Stotaw
In this morden time nanotechnology used in many field . 1-Electronics-manufacturad IC ,RAM,MRAM,solar panel etc 2-Helth and Medical-Nanomedicine,Drug Dilivery for cancer treatment etc 3- Atomobile -MEMS, Coating on car etc. and may other field for details you can check at Google
Azam
anybody can imagine what will be happen after 100 years from now in nano tech world
Prasenjit
after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments
Azam
name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world
Prasenjit
how hard could it be to apply nanotechnology against viral infections such HIV or Ebola?
Damian
silver nanoparticles could handle the job?
Damian
not now but maybe in future only AgNP maybe any other nanomaterials
Azam
Hello
Uday
I'm interested in Nanotube
Uday
this technology will not going on for the long time , so I'm thinking about femtotechnology 10^-15
Prasenjit
can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
