Today, we are simplifying complex fraction using order of operations.
00:07
We're going to be working on 5 over 1 4th plus 1 3rd.
00:13
Now, we solve this by focusing first on simplifying the 1 3rd plus the 1 4th.
00:20
So we can rewrite that over here, 1 4th plus 1 3rd.
00:27
When we add fractions, we need them to have a common denominator.
00:31
3 and 4 have a common denominator or an easy, common factor of 12.
00:37
To get three there, we have to multiply it by four, so we'll do top and bottom.
00:42
To get four there, we have to multiply by three, so we'll do top and bottom three.
00:46
That gives us three over 12, plus four over 12.
00:58
Now that they have common denominators, we can add them, add the numerators together, which gives us seven over 12...
