Okay, this problem is asking me to add two fractions that have the same denominator.
00:05
So i have seven twelfths, okay? and then i also have one twelfth.
00:19
And i know adding means i'm going to put them together, right? so i like to think about it like this.
00:24
If i have seven apples and i add one more apple, what does that get me? that gets me eight apples, right? so the same is true with fractions when i add them or i subtract them.
00:36
I have to keep that denominator the same.
00:39
That doesn't change, right? so seven apples plus one apple, again, gives me eight apples.
00:45
So adding or subtracting, just remember, that denominator does not change.
00:50
All right, next step.
00:51
I need to figure out how to simplify this.
00:53
So i need to think of a number that would go into eight and would also go into 12.
00:58
So i'm just going to list my factors over here.
01:00
What can i multiply that will give me eight? i could multiply one times eight.
01:05
I could also multiply two times four...
