May has 4/15 meter of lace while Lovie has 2/7 meter longer than May’s lace.
How many meters of lace do girls have altogether?
Answer:
[tex]\frac{58}{105}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Using addition, add both of the fractions together.
We can see that [tex]\frac{4}{15}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex] are not similar on their denominator, so, we first find the LCM of their denominator which are 15 and 7.
Finding LCM:
15 = 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105
7 = 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, 98, 105
Making both fractions similar:
[tex]\frac{4}{15} (7) + \frac{2}{7} (15) =?[/tex]
[tex]\frac{28}{105} + \frac{30}{105} =\bold{\boxed{\frac{58}{105} }}[/tex]
Therefore, the length of the girls’ lace together is [tex]\frac{58}{105}[/tex].
